Wow. How hard would it be to import them? For example to this:

http://openshakespeare.org/work/romeo_and_juliet

@Rufus - could be a good way to bootstrap open shakespeare, but also a
broader annotation community around annotator. Is there still a public site
- I could only find http://okfn.org/projects/annotator/

There may be an opportunity to turn Annotator into a service like Universal
Subtitles
