Workaround... I'm evaluating windows 7 and wanted to edit my xps documents, so I settled for annotating them using XPS Annotator, by Danang Probo Sayekti. I don't relly know yet if it will satisy all my needs, but it loaded and is providing me with the means to add text annotations to my xps documents. Best part is that XPS Annotator is free.
After further evaluatin of the XPS Annotator, it is a waste of time. Yes you can annotate an XPS file, but those annotation exist only for the life of the session and cannot, that I have found, be saved. And the XPS Annotator says it will print the annotations, but that only happens if the annotation is visible. XPS document items can be selected and the XPS Annotator context menu offers text notes to be added, and those notes are collapsable, but you cannot save them.
The features to annotate and XPS file and store the annotation as part of the XPS file are documented on MSDN [http://msdn.microsoft.com

There really isn't any such thing, any more than there is "editing" software for PDF files. The whole point to XPS is that it allows you to create a document in Word (like a contract) and send it to someone else such that it cannot be edited.
There's a plugin available from Microsoft for use with Office 2007:

But that's about it.
