Hi Julien,

I can relate the experiences from writing my own Annotator store

Does that work for you? I tried returning 303 but Annotator at least on
Firefox did not follow the URL. I looked at what annotateit.org did and
I return the annotation.

I think it is not really specified as the parameters are defined by what
you put in "loadFromSearch" for the client side Store plugin. The
default seems to be to have "uri" with an exact match as you propose, at
least that's what I implemented :-)
