Hey Martin...
This is EXACTLY the problem that I described that you would run into
when trying to do annotations in the way that you originally designed
:(. Overlaying multiple blocks just doesn't work. XML doesn't lend
itself to this type of scenario...
Although it's a complete redesign - you might want to look at how XML
DigSig solves this problem via XPaths...
