Hi Richard,
I have no successes, tales, or frankly knowledge! to share... but a pointer
that the IIIF team are very committed to supporting OpenAnnotation, and my
impression both from their session at MCN last November and from lurking on
their discussion list is this that this is indeed a live issue for them, with
energy levels high.
Might be worth asking your last question on that list?
best
Ben
