Why not use Ruby for inline annotations? It is part of the XHTML 1.x namespace...

I suppose (some) alt elements could be implemented with Ruby for HTML. Do modern browsers support Ruby?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_characters: "Ruby markup is partially supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer (5.0+) for Windows and Macintosh, but is not supported by Mozilla, Firefox, Safari/Konqueror or Opera."

Although Ruby is supposed to be part of XHTML 1.1, I don't know if it's support is mainstream enough for this yet.

It also looks like Ruby would work for inlines, but I don't know about block level...

Why is alt done as an element as opposed to an attribute?

Where is an Annotation element expected to be placed in the tree? I realize it is not a child of the parent, but surely one is not expected to go through the whole tree for annotations, it would make sense if they were confined to one part of the tree.
