IAnnotation sounds very good to me, FWIW.

Streaming thoughts... perhaps "IMetadata" doesn't fit since metadata is 
just one kind of annotation (and not all metadata is an annotation). 
Security settings, workflow state, etc. are not metadata.  The word 
"association" is connected with metadata so that doesn't fit either.  To 
me, "IAttachedData" is good, but "IAttachData" doesn't convey the sense 
that you can retrieve the data (it's a verb, so you can really only 
perform some variation of attaching data), but that's only an opinion. 
IMHO IAnnotation definitely wins the quick comprehension requirement. :-)
