Hi Anthony,
Your proposal seems quite suitable to annotate texts in Wikisource, since
the text is constant and you will not have problems using the highlighted
text as anchor.
Another participant has suggested storing the annotation as JSON in a new
namespace "Annotation:", I think there is a plugin for the OKFN annotator
that can handle this, but I don't know how well Mediawiki could handle it,
maybe a support extension is needed.

Hi Anthony,
sorry for not having expressed myself clearly enough.
What I had in mind was mainly that the text of the page might change
after the initial highlighting of parts of that text, but yes,
sometimes an inline comment might actually fit better at a different
place within the text, so moving the comment's location around would
also be interesting.

Hi Daniel,
I hope to clarify the question you asked. Let's say userA highlighted the
text "sunflower stalk" and wrote an inline starting comment.
Now userB decides to give an inline reply to the inline comment.
Are you asking about how the system would handle a case in which userA
shifts the highlighting from "sunflower stalk" to "green leaves" at
the
same time when userB is adding the inline reply?
(and you have userB who thinks his inline reply would be appearing next
to
the "sunflower stalk" text.)
