annotation missing in DocBook Publishers

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex" <gerrit.imsieke@le-tex.de>]

I just noticed that the annotation element has not made its way into 
DocBook Publishers.

We are using this element in order to capture Word or OpenDocument 
comments. The remark element is not suited for these word processor 
comments because they are allowed to contain block-level content (at 
least multiple paras) while remark is designed to hold only inline content.

Semantically, I think remark might fit.

Can anyone elaborate on why annotation was kicked out?
