I'm definitely not going to use adobe's format as a basis for annotations, it is too limited. It is based on hierarchical tag counts with no fallback, which means that if you edit the file even slightly, the annotation position could be lost. Plus the annotation are completely non-portable across formats. That can be remedied with a simple text string fallback, as I described earlier.
If you find 1) intimidating, you will just have to wait until I get around to defining the standard.
