-1 to the offic:annotation-end

I'd prefer a 'matching pair'
e.g. annotation-start and annotation-end as the element names.
or use an attribute to declare the end?

I'm guessing you're using ID and IDREF as the type?
You don't say what they point to? I.e. where the match is expected to
be for testing.


More general comment.
With insertion and deletion, the extent of  the 'overlapping markup'
starts to become
significant?

I guess it would help if they all followed a consistant pattern?

Its becoming popular too. Eg. rng extension for validation of
overlapping markup?
