This makes me nervous; in order to create an annotation you have to modify the metarecord. This seems as dangerous as any on-PDA editing. Updating the original would erase all commentaries, even if most records hadn't changed. It also makes it difficult to separate annotations from the original document. One of the proposed uses was multiple commentaries on the same original document -- but those commentaries would all have to be merged at once, instead of just beaming (or synching) an extra commentary. If I recall correctly, there are proposals (and maybe partial patches) for both external links and exact anchors. In the end, I think it might be simpler to define another document type that (new enough) viewers will know to look for. These will contain exact anchors (with or without a record-level explicit marker about which document they refer to) and the annotation itself. I do like the idea of defining an annotation type record, so that there is room to say how it should modify the original -- embed, replace, highlight, popup, etc. -jJ _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
