I think inlinetasks/comments that are actually *inline* would be nice!

See my other post.  In addition you'd need to be able to turn them off via

    #+OPTIONS: annotations:nil

I don't like the example.  The ordering is weird.  Do the first and the
second bracket need to be tied together?  Or would something like this
work:

      body text to annotate address@hidden: Look this up on the internet]

Or 

    address@hidden: Look this up on the internet]{body text to annotate}
    address@hidden look this up on the internet: body text to annotate]
