>From my understanding webdav treats a document and its properties as a single versionable object. If you change things like the name of the document or its modify date then its understandable that you want to have a record of that in terms of a version. Annotations on the other hand are a response or addition to a document and not part of the document itself, or a representation of its state. Otherwise they would be revisions.
So if you want to keep annotations to the document you could have a separate document in the content space alongside the original document that contains the annotations; or just make it a dummy doc alongside the original that has the annotation property attached. You wouldn't version control this annotations file - or at least you could version control it separately from the original document so that changes to annotations don't reflect in the versioning of the original document.
