Proposal to support commenting, inline error highlighting, etc. in documents.

Office wants to be able to make these types of annotations more accessible. Commenting on a document is a pretty common scenario, and this would be useful to many web app developers.

We'd like to explore creating this as an extension spec. I have a person from the Office team who is willing to do the heavy lifting.
