We do allow embedding of elements and attributes from the RNG namespace in 
annotations.  However, such elements and attributes do not have to conform 
to the RELAX NG schema or satisfy any other constraints.  There is no 
defined semantics for such elements and attributes.

Round-tripping (compact -> xml -> compact) while preserving special syntax 
for RNG elements embedded in annotations would be tricky: you would have to 
figure out the maximal subtree that corresponded to a syntactically legal 
pattern (or name class?) and then use compact syntax for such subtrees, 
recursively handling annotations inside such subtrees.

I think this would add significant complexity to an implementation and more 
importantly to the specification, without providing much practical benefit.
