*
* Do not use characters that are not valid in URLs such as spaces, ":",

*
* NOTE: ALL PAGE ANNOTATIONS WILL GET DELETED WHEN THE PAGE IS REMOVED FROM
* HISTORY IF THE PAGE IS NOT BOOKMARKED. This means that if you create an
* annotation on an unvisited URI, it will get deleted when the browser
* shuts down. Otherwise, URIs can exist in history as annotations but the
* user has no way of knowing it, potentially violating their privacy
* expectations about actions such as "Clear history".
* If there is an important annotation that the user or extension wants to
* keep, you should add a bookmark for the page and use an EXPIRE_NEVER
* annotation. This will ensure the annotation exists until the item is
* removed by the user.
* See EXPIRE_* constants above for further information.
*
* The annotation "favicon" is special. Favicons are stored in the favicon
* service, but are special cased in the protocol handler so they look like
* annotations. Do not set favicons using this service, it will not work.
*
* Only C++ consumers may use the type-specific methods.
