Just so that I understand properly, if I wanted to associate an annotation
with, say, an image, wouldn't I write:
<annot alt="the annotation
text"><mediaobject>....stuff...</mediaobject></annot>
And get an image that had the annotation text "the annotation text" associated.
Or, if the annotation itself was the image:
<annot id="888">text words here</annot>
<annotdef id="888"><mediaobject>....stuff...</mediaobject></annotdef>
