Declarations are currently considered axioms, and as such can be annotated.

It is debatable whether declarations should be considered axioms at all, since they carry no 
semantic import, and act more like annotations in their own right.

It is also extremely unclear how an annotation of a declaration differs from an entity annotation on 
the entity being declared. A single mechanism for attaching annotations to entities would be 
preferable.
