Comment (by jaswrks):

 Hello annotators ;-) I've been working on a WP REST API controller for
 annotations and it follows the W3C model for selectors. I was unaware of
 this open ticket until now. Love the discussion!! Agree on many points,
 and I have been participating in some discussion with the hypothes.is
 community also.

 I'd like to invite any feedback I can get on the open PR for this.
 If interested, please see:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/4685
 A work-in-progress draft of the documentation for the API is here:
 https://speca.io/jaswrks/wp-annotations

 It uses a custom comment type to establish private backend annotations for
 Gutenberg, but as others have mentioned, this feels like it would make a
 great addition to core. My feeling is that a good first step would be to
 make custom comment types more flexible; e.g., `register_comment_type()`
 and `register_comment_status()`.
