Hi Benjamin,
I haven’t been following 2.x development closely, but I thought supporting an 
Open Annotation model natively was on the TODO list for AnnotatorJS.
Sure enough, the road map lists it - 
http://docs.annotatorjs.org/en/latest/roadmap.html
        - Internal data model consistent with Open Annotation
        - A (beta-quality) storage component that speaks OA JSON-LD

Pretty sure that got pushed back to target a later release though that decision 
is not yet reflected in the roadmap. Getting Open/Web annotation models from 
AnnotatorJS is one of the features I really really want from 2.x, so I’m 
wondering how your plugin conversion work relates to the goals on the 2.x 
roadmap?

Thanks,
-ben
