Hi Mathieu, hi James, There is this GsoC proposal that plans to explore the integration of an annotation system in Mediawiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Rjain/Proposal-Prototyping-inline-comments
The idea is to see how well and in which ways the OKFN Annotator could be deployed: http://okfnlabs.org/annotator/ If successful, it would be very useful for cases like the one you are suggesting. It could be used to cite texts in Wikisource in a easier way than now.
