FYI --
Since both the DSpace repository and the Annotea project were
mentioned as approaches to the problem of arbitrary annotations,
I thought I'd point out a recently funded research project that will
(among other things) attempt to add support for annotations to
DSpace by building on Annotea's work...

It's not an easy problem so I wouldn't hold my breath for this to
solve any immediate needs, but it's clearly the direction we (DSpace)
need to be moving in. I keep y'all posted ;-)
