Understood. The crucial thing would be supporting the existing config
on what pages to annotate (selected by regex I believe) and for the
selection of the section of the page to annotate (we don't want to be
annotating the whole page). Support for Wordpress users versus
annotate users could then be the next step (definitely desirable I
would imagine especially as it would allow for much fuller
"adminning".
