Hello There, I have been working in an extension to DAS1.6 called writeback( http://www.biodas.org/wiki/DAS1.6E#DAS_writeback), this will allow to create new versions of an existing feature. So, putting new notes into a feature is just a creation of a new version of the feature. The server implementation of the writeback extends MyDas (http://code.google.com/p/mydas/) and you can get a mydas+writebackk datasource by SVN ( https://mydas.googlecode.com/svn/writeback-datasource). We are close to release the plugin for Dasty3 to use the writeback server, however this first client is a protein client, and so far there is not a development for a genome client with DAS writeback capability, but I am quite interested in this. I hope to be able to announce the release of the writeback client in Dasty3 in a few days, so you will be able to see it working and see if this approach goes in the same direction of what you are looking for.
