Didn't this exist some years ago in the form of either a browser plugin, or built into some Firefox clone? My Google-fu is failing me atm.

Annotea was an W3C experiment for Web Annotations. Had an RDF/XML data model and used XPointer for locating the annotated part of the resource. You could also have self hosted servers for your annotations.

Only really implemented in Amaya, the W3C’s own browser/editor, and like the rest of the browser a little bit clunky.
