But will it work for *him*? Will it meet the requirements he sees that such a system must fulfill? That's the purpose of this discussion -- to assess the requirements for any system enabling external annotations of digital publications. This list of requirements is independent of solution type, but will certainly be useful in evaluating how one would implement the application (whether plain text or XML-based.) Btw, since DP is providing the lion's share of the PG texts, to master them in XML (TEI and XHTML), and plans to redo many of the early PG texts, the issue that PG's corpus is now mostly plain text becomes less compelling.
