Re: [web-annotation] Language Literals not supported within the Body

As feedback I saw that the Example 1 is marked as an issue 1 in String
 Body
https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/#string-body

However this representation is in contradiction with the web 
annotation principles, which basically say that the annotation is: a 
body that is related to a target...
https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/#web-annotation-principles

I agree with the simplication that in the case that the body is "only"
 a string, and no more information is available/required for the body,
 you can reduce the representation of the body to a string. 

Otherwise the TextualBody should be used as üresented in the Example 
2. 

I don't think that is a good idea to introduce the  "bodyText" as 
replacement for a { body : {"@type" : "TextualBody"}

Of course different implementations may extend the context and 
implement this solution, but I would vote against making it normative,
 given the fact that the Example 2 (TextualBody) is already normative.
