If i understand correctly the package can someway already use the
tooltips setting a customizable variable; in this case the property
'help-echo' of the overlay is setted and a tooltip is shown (if
tooltip-mode is enabled).
I like the idea to use the margin!

I find useful to have the annotations in centralized database, some
persons save the database in a network accessible file system (even
using TRAMP!), to share it on multiple machines.
Bye an thanks for the suggestions!
