I think the developer are smart-enough to make it comaptible, in the sense
that you can *always get the original PDF out of the .okular*, which will
probably be a smart way to make the PDF and the XML for the annotations
travel together.
Until poppler cannot edit a PDF or a new library for PDF-editing is
published I don't think we can do much better than this. Indeed pdf-edit
development doesn't run fast at all ...
On the other hand this "okular archive" will be a "portable annotated
document", which works on every machine running okular (i.e your laptop and
your desktop(s)) irrespectively of the fact you moved or renamed the file.
There is also some chance for this approach to provide annotated DjVu, Tiff
and PS as well and this is not irrelevant too.
Finally, when it will be impletented, you can always come down to a PDF just
printing the file to a PDF. This would allow (Acrobat) user to read the PDF
as you edited and seems to me a great step ahead in features as well as a
quick workaround for a basic functionality till basic facts about Poppler
don't change.
Say it is a very good looking patch. At least IMHO ...
