Hi devs, while trying to prototype this solution, I came up with a refinement which changes the strategy a bit, basing it on XHTML content mainly, and considering 'content' as the main unit (and not 'document') and 'annotations set' (instead of 'document's annotations'). It is described at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/AnnotationFeature#HSolution2storeannotationsasselectionandcontextonHTMLcontent .
WDYT? Roadmap stays the same, even with this new approach.
