  I you really want to implement annotation in an XML syntax:

  There is a W3C XML standard for annotation support syntax. It's part
of XLink, the linkbase support in extended links is precisely dedicated
to things like annotations:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/#xlg
  A linkbase indicates another document which itself contains relevant
links. And since XLinks allows linking semantic with source and destinations
outside the document containing the link itself, expressing annotations
in that syntax is possible.

  And to point to a subset of an XML document there is XPointer:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr/

  Combining both you can have annotations pointing from a subpart of
an XML document and pointing to the subpart of another XML document.
