Re: [web-annotation] Functionality: XPath Range Selector

"That the XPath selects an Element and the offset a text position 
accounts for the unpredictability of the slicing of Text Nodes and the
 possible presence of other highlight spans. Arguably, an even better 
implementation would ignore all inline phrasing Elements and measure 
text offset from the beginning of the block."

Is that not a use case? Selecting text within a block such that 
differences in Text Node slicing and inline Elements don't break the 
selector?
