The elements could have attributes giving details of the annotator(s) and
reason(s) for the annotation. Much of the work on TEI would be helpful
comparison. Regarding annotations that rely on one another: tricky one,
but could we atleast partially solve it by allowing nested annotations.
Oh, and while I'm still thinking about TEI, it might be worth keeping
ABBREV so that an EXPN attribute can expand the abbreviation eg <ABBREV
EXPN="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</ABBREV>. Hard to do this with a
<DFN> element.
