Yes. I meant at least two things : * Activate annotations as a default setting * Have annotations displayed even when JavaScript is not available (that means moving code from the annotation application to the platform - but that's another story) And a third item, a bit more ambitious (so maybe for 2.7 ?) : * Fusion annotations with comments (at least in the U. Probably in the storage (read: XClass) by default too - to make the UI easier to write). Comments would then become annotations without a context. That would already be great.
