There should be a update script from form based annotation into full node.
- annotate.note text becomes node.body
- node.title becomes ??
- annotation.visibility stays the same
- annotation.nid becomes annotation.pid (parent-id) (one can annotate an annotation too)

This update script is not trivial ... i asked #drupal@IRC at no avail. So I give up this one.

That means that when upgrading to the new system ALL annotations get LOST!!!

I hope to find a solution to this but at low priority.

(I doesn't feel user friendly but I tried to find a solution.

I was still wrestling with making annotate a node but making a new node type solves my migration path. So there will be three annotate types:
- private annotations (current)
- editorial note (aka trascribe module)
- yellow marker annotation (full node).

So module names:
- annotate (old one)
- annotate_editorial (transcribe module)
- annotate_marker (full blown node)

Cheers.
