If the JavaScript were generated programmatically through the PHP script, it would be relatively easy to include/exclude specific UI functionality depending on the user.

I think this will be critical for my application where I'm running PHP on a somewhat memory-constrained virtual server. I don't expect to be able to load the whole JPEG into memory to process the EXIF data and retrieve the fotonotes data, especially not if displaying multiple images on a page. Leave loading the image data to the browser! :-)

(I do understand how it's a great to be able to keep this information in a single file package together with the image itself. Just doesn't work for me.)

I managed to get something similar to work on my site. What i managed to do was

1) Nobody could write a note unless he is logged in.
2) after login, all user can write a note on any pictures.
3) a user can only edit/delete the notes he wrote
4) owner of the pic can delete/edit any notes written by others

How I achieved this is by adding into the fotonote xml, the userid and name (as per my site Database) of the note author.

(author)
(name)(/name)
(userid)(/userid)
(/author)

Then before allowing any action on it, the script calls a sql select script (via a php file) which then compares if he is the owner. If he is, he can delet/edit anything. Else only his own notes.

Maybe you can do something similar to this? My site (still a work in progress) is www.picturesteal.com
