[web-annotation] Embedded Targets

csarven has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== Embedded Targets ==
Would it make sense to broaden embedded bodies, more specifically 
textual bodies to also cover targets? While hasTarget has extensive 
ways of capturing the target information, it doesn't appear to have a 
simple way to refer to some text/markup. For example, hasBody can have
 oa:text, meanwhile hasTarget has to go through hasSelector - this is 
unless of course it is not prohibited to use oa:text on hasTarget.

I have something along the lines of: `<mark about="[this:#foo]" 
typeof="http://purl.org/dcmitype/Text">foo</mark>`, which was marked 
by the UI. That subject (#foo) will be the target of an annotation. 
What I'd like to do is extend that by simply saying that the target 
has a value/label/description/HTMLtext instead of having to go through
 hasSelector.

If oa:text is okay on hasTarget, I suggest some editorial on 
http://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/#textual-body and broaden the 
description to cover both body and target.
