Your proposal is able to connect annotation only with text, not with some element like abbrev -- this is the main problem of whole annotation issue. How to markup relation between annotation and its target? There were a lot of proposals and discussions in past on public: http://norman.walsh.name/2004/09/10/annotations http://norman.walsh.name/2004/09/16/annotationMarkup http://norman.walsh.name/2004/12/02/annotations and also on DocBook TC teleconferences. I don't think that current annotation proposal is perfect from all aspects, but it is the best from all alternatives that were presented up to this day.
