Re: [web-annotation] Normalisation of Text Quote Selector

Discussed at F2F meeting 2016-05-17.

We established, I think, that this concern is fundamentally about 
annotation clients *modifying* the normalisation of the underlying 
document, because document editors may have valid reasons for wanting 
to preserve a particular unicode normalisation in their document 
(@r12a gave the example of his International Phonetic Alphabet).

Perhaps there is an editor action here to add a note to the spec 
suggesting or requiring the annotation clients do *not* modify the 
normalisation of the annotated document. If we decide they need to 
(for example) compute TextPositionSelector indices in terms of the 
fully-composed normalisation of the document, that should be done 
*without* modifying the document.
