While I can't imagine myself using it anytime soon, it's clear that web applications are improving at a far faster rate then native applications and, with t large enough, the first derivative means that web will eclipse native.
This seems like an academic exercise at the moment; it's to prove that you can replicate a native experience only.
However, it seems that this could be vastly improved by playing to the strengths of the internet. The only online apps that have beat native ones so far have been because of cloud storage and collaboration. First, use filepicker.io or something so this can open my online files. Second, bake some collaboration into it.
GroupDocs currently provide an app for online annotation and collaboration, including accessing your files from different cloud storage providers, currently Azure & Amazon S3 are supported http://groupdocs.com/apps/annotation/try-it-now
