Several people have emailed me off-list and mentioned a number of
other use-cases that I hadn't thought of, which is what I was looking
for. I'm now convinced that there's a sufficiently broad spectrum of
uses for annotations. I'll be working up a patch for PEP 3107 that
will include a "possible use cases" section.

Consider my objection dropped.
