I suppose that the issue is with `external' annotations by Xpointer that may break if the document structure changes. Direct annotations in this case are appealing.

Then having `direct' annotations is possible maybe by having the (X)HTML in RDF stored in a (XML) literal; where the annotation targets may be identified by regular node ids (somehow like in Doug Engelbart's Purple Numbers granular addressability style), to elude identification by document structure.
