Of course, you're right.
Maybe the easy solution would be to implement two ways of annotating:
region-wise or pseudomarker-wise. You would annotate regions in files
that are not supposed to change (e.g. pdftotext'ed text files) and you
would "insert" annotations in texts that are likely to change.
The process I have in mind for first kind of annotations is something
like this:
1. you're in your text buffer (file.txt)
2. M-x org-remember
3. Use a template that knows about the filename and the region
When you open file.txt, you can turn org-annotation-minor-mode on, and
*see* whether the text is annotated. The minor-mode would do this:
1. fetch annotations in files that are reached by M-x org-remember
2. put an overlay on these regions (if a region is annotated twice,
show this by modifying the overlay - maybe different colors)
What do you think?

See this:
http://gplv3.fsf.org/comments/gfdl-draft-1.html
As you can see, commented regions get colored. More commented ones are
darker. It would be *really* nice if we could implement something like
this in Emacs, with Org.
The one thing I currently miss in Emacs is the ability to annotate a
file and directly see those annotations in the buffer.
