Tony Hirst and I are trying to achieve something technically similar with WriteToReply, albeit with a different objective in mind. WordPress supports Atom and XML-RPC Publishing and OpenID. As a CMS, it also supports role-based authoring and keeps a transparent revision history. CommentPress supports paragraph level annotation and paragraph level URIs for remote commenting. There are improvements we'd make to CommentPress but we're waiting for v2.0 which is due out any day now, before embarking on anything. I've also been impressed with OpenCalais integration with WordPress via plugins, so that sections of the document can be semantically tagged. Being Wordpress, feeds can be taken from pretty much any aspect of the content, comments or metadata. Some of what you’re specifying above is available on the WordPress platform.
