And what about allowing annotation almost everywhere (like indexterm) 
with the following semantic:

- if annotation have xml:id then it could be referenced by IDREFS 
attribute from other elements
- if annotation doesn't have xml:id then it belongs to its parent

This will allow users to select style of annotating that they prefer.

Thoughts?
