Absolutely!

I'm fine with the notion that defining an annotation region is different 
than a bookmark, and I agree that one should be able to define 
annotation regions in ODF.

But beyond that, one could imagine some messy overlap with metadata.

E.g. a "compatible" proposal, to me, would be:

1) structurally equivalent to bookmarks
2) allow xml:id
3) use RDF for any optional metadata (creator, date, subjects, etc.).

So what does the annotation XML actually look like?
