Comment (by MikeSchinkel):
Replying to [comment:4 dshanske]:
> ''"If someone wants to annotate a URL on another site, that should be a
custom post type. The post type would be associated with their user...so
there is authorship of the annotation. It doesn't need to have anything to
do with the comment table."''
I would instead argue ''"It doesn't need to have anything to do with the
posts table"'' because posts are conceptually source documents and
comments are conceptually annotations to a source document. So
`wp_comments` is a better fit than `wp_posts`.
And as comments have the `user_id` field, authorship is addressed.
> ''"the annotation server merely serves to translate the custom post type
posts into the format that other systems can understand...the Annotation
spec."''
The prior notwithstanding; yes, this is the thinking of the proposal.
> ''"If someone wants to annotate something on the same site they have a
user on, that can be a comment type."''
And that is another reason to make all annotations comments; it is more
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself D.R.Y.] than having
the same logic attached to both posts and comments.
