It needs a calibre server of course.

I tried it. It's nearly impossible for someone else to receive, as exported annotations, and find the edits. Again, the bookmaker would have to have the book up, with the user's annotations, in front of him--at that point, the exported list is pretty superfluous.
Now, maybe, I'm overthinking that, but as someone who's edited books, I find I prefer a list that I can put on my desk, to my right and use it and type onscreen, versus having to have 3 screens up, one with the list, one with the book (in Calibre or whatever) and the HTML/ePUB file.
I can't see Kovid being excited about this, as, let's face it, it's a pretty niche-use thing.
(I just had a similar conversation with a programmer that created these DocTools programs--s/he has written one for x-refs, which I downloaaded because I was trying to troubleshoot some index issues--but his/her program doesn't deal with indices, only xrefs. Again, the sort of use I need--being able to analyze index tags and the resulting built-index--has such a limited use that s/he is not willing to put in the "hundreds of hours" required, to make it work. Oh, well....)
