As I explained in my proposal about transitively registering adapters, I 
might want to create a way of storing my Annotations in an RDBMS, or 
some other external storage, rather than as objects in an OOBTree (as 
they are currently implemented by default).

Having rules about what is allowed to be an Annotation makes this 
easier, but I'm not sure we know enough about how Annotations will be 
used to make such rules yet.
