The Annotea spec defines the query to get replies to an annotation to be "w3c_reply_tree". Unfortunately, the W3C Annotea server uses "w3c_replyTree". This is a bug, and should be corrected in an upwards compatible fashion. Some Annotea clients (e.g. Annozilla) have been implemented against the W3C Annotea server's behavior rather than the spec. Others (e.g. the WAINU library) implement the spec. This means that Annotea servers need to implement both versions of the request to support the range of clients. This probably should be mentioned in the Annotea spec as "implementation advice". -- Steve
