--- Comment #9 from David Hurka <david.hurka at mailbox.org> ---
If I understand it correctly, you want to make local notes on a remote PDF
file. (Or similar to that, where the “remote PDF” is on your local machine.)
There are some types of annotations:
* Notes: You spot an interesting point in the PDF and make some notes in the
floating popup note window.
* Drawings: You spot something in the PDF that needs to be changed, so you draw
directly on the page.
* Drawings with popup note: I don’t think that makes sense.

In case of Notes, it is understandable that the local note should stay when the
remote PDF changes. But this can be done with Bookmarks. Bookmarks can even be
searched from within Okular, no need to deal with the XML files.

In case of Drawings, they should not stay when the remote PDF changes, because
when the PDF gets fixed they become obsolete.

The only problem with Bookmarks is that they are not visible in the viewport.
But that could be changed.

Viewing the document without annotations would probably make a good feature
request: A button in the annotation toolbar to hide all annotations.
