Hello David, Thanks for your feedback. I'm aware about your work and have read your papers :) A limitation about your schema is that it only allows to annotate text. It's not possible to use it to annotate an SVG image or a MathML formula, for example. That's where the structure becomes important. You may also want to annotate a whole chapter or a section of a document. -jose On Mon, Mar 18, 2002 at 08:50:08AM -0800, David M Bargeron wrote: > We have done some work in the area of robust anchoring for annotations > on web pages.
