Comment (by dshanske):

 I had looked at the specification before I commented. I certainly could
 stand to read it a few more times as there is a lot there to discuss. I
 agree working toward annotations in WordPress is an admirable goal and
 support it, especially since too many active members of the community seem
 to be focusing on business use cases. We may be at odds as to ways to go
 about it, which is fine.

 To the more practical aspects of it, I am approaching it from the
 perspective of where annotations are stored and where the subject of
 annotations are stored because I think it is a prerequisite to storing the
 relationship between the two. I think those two actions should be taken
 with the third in mind.

 You want persona, which is a form of identity, to be the post type so it
 can have comments attached to it. There is nothing inherently wrong with
 that. Menus are post types. Changesets are now post types. The post table
 is used to store different types of data. But there is also the user
 table, which is where WordPress has designated identity is to be stored.

 We can debate this back and forth, and to your point. The hope was, by
 your initial statement, to encourage discussion and consensus. I'd like to
 see what others have to say on the matter as well. My ideas are often on
 the outside of things to begin with. I'm the one who is usually advocating
 for a different W3C standard, Webmentions(which, by the way, is also an
 option for notifying another site that there has been an annotation)
