Re: [web-annotation] Reference to text encoding in spec perhaps not appropriate

The clearest and most straightforward thing is to describe the text as
 it appears originally.

If you wanted to select both Iván, it would be fine for an 
implementation to either let you select both using a pointing device 
or perform a find over some normalized version of the text 
(normalization and case folding and such are common for search). In 
both cases, the implementation should understand that the two 
instances of the word are different and it can describe each as 
precisely as it wishes to.

Normalization as a recommendation to me is just a bad idea. It is 
lossy and annotation often requires precision. These are at odds.
