That is the general idea that we were thinking, too.  Jim Leebens-Mack  
and Maryam Panehiazar are working on this.  The ultimate goal is a  
tool for users to annotate a phylogenetic analysis and create a record  
for submission, in the form of a single NeXML file.  As a separate  
issue, a protocol (e.g,. web services interface) could be developed to  
handle the submission of such a record to an archive such as TreeBASE  
or Dryad.  The plan is for the annotations to use CDAO and other  
ontologies.
