OpenTimelineIO carries editorial timelines, but frame-accurate notes, drawings and approval states live in each review tool. Can notes be exchanged in a standard way so an agent can read feedback from any reviewer tool and apply it?

Why this is still open: READMEs read describe playback and APIs; none read describes annotation interchange.
