Re: [web-annotation] XPath Range Selector

@tilgovi after reading [DOM 
Range](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#ranges) and your work on 
[xpath-range](https://github.com/openannotation/xpath-range) (and 
specifically the [`toRange()` 
method](https://github.com/openannotation/xpath-range/blob/master/src/range.js#L36-L48)),
 I'm beginning to understand your desire for a Range object.

Having flexibility in how we express the `Range.startContainer` and 
`Range.endContainer` as well as the ability to state that the 
selection should include more than the "stringification" (to address 
#107) seems key to solving the "DOM-based" use cases, simplifying the 
construction of selector-to-range code, and (possibly) making the 
whole thing more sensible to the watching world. :smile: 

So :+1: to you creating an issue for a `Range` object in which we can 
stuff various selectors. :smile_cat:
