Here's the question I had earlier.  Will people be using a DAS/2 
annotation
server directly through a web browser?  As far as I'm aware there's no
demand for this.  None of the proposals mentioned it and the current 
discussion
started from a technical discussion at ISMB; that is, because it could,
and not because it is needed.

I thought most people using IE/Moz/etc. would go a DAS application 
server,
which integrates views from different DAS annotation servers.

All this discussion is about returning pages back from an annotation
server in a form directly viewable by a web browser.

I don't see that as being useful.
