 Replying to [comment:21 MikeSchinkel]:
 > I actually agree with you, regarding features 2 and 3. Those features
 could even be plugins if  WordPress ever implemented "core" plugins vs.
 just one of 50,000+ from the repo.

 and features 2 and 3 need to exist in a form that most WordPress users
 will trust ''(e.g. a "core" plugin)'' or this entire proposal really
 becomes moot.

 I think that we are largely in agreement then. I think it probably will
 make sense for WordPress's comments to accept annotation references out of
 the box, since annotations are a now a web standard.  I guess most of my
 concern was about 2 (and possibly 3).

 Could you explain why you think that it is so important for 2 and 3 to
 exist in a "core" plugin/form most users will trust? As opposed to so many
 other features (forums, storefronts, etc.). (If you've already done that,
 then apparently I'm just not listening, so don't bother repeating
 yourself. :-)
