Oh!
Being able to share your annotations would be excellent - on a smaller scale, having ubiquity actually build a cache of annotations you have made that it can re-apply as you re-visit those sites (and the ability to easily dump that information as well) would be excellent.
Also - if the person you are contacting also has Ubiquity, you can bring the sharing annotated with them a step further and allow for a sort of "track changes" for websites. User A alters it one way, sends it along to Ubiquity user B, who's client will simply reproduce the changes that A's did. B can then continue to alter the page and "return annotated."
I would use a feature like that constantly for some web design, and - in particular, website copy. Getting copy re-written and approved is a miserable process at the moment which has to go through several hands and never comes out quite right in the end. With everyone seeing each others annotations ON the designed page and being able to revert them / add to them, things would move so much faster.
I mean - I grasp that any part of this is likely a huge undertaking in and of itself, but I'm just getting very excited about the possibilities. Sorry to ramble!

Next step for gmail integration: email to "groups" or at least multiple recipients?As I think many gmail users do, I keep up a regular threaded conversation with a large group of friends. It's how we all stay in touch and share information and say what we had for lunch that day, etc.
However, presently ubiquity can't seem to reference a group of contacts as I have defined them in gmail. I tested this a few times with as many contextual commands as I could think of, so if I have just missed it, my bad!
Also - I can't seem to figure out a way to email something to multiple contacts via a single issuance, which is a next-step feature that I think could be well-used by all.

It does seem to just reload it, as Tom mentions, being able to highlight changed pieces would be nice, and, really, popping f5 is quicker than ctrl-space "rem" if we're just going to be reloading the page anyhow.
Remove-annotations could be awesome, especially if there was a "remove annotation" singular for that one seminal line of the article you meant to email to a friend, but instead deleted, but don't want to have to re-calculate all of the math contained therein (I don't know what kind of articles you read!)
or, like "redact last"
I am just learning very basic programming. I hate suggesting things and not being able to help actually build them, especially on a project this cool. Hopefully I will learn fast!-
