Re: annotations and RDF

Hi Matteo,
you can do both. You can use begin/end or prefix/suffix. It depends on your
needs.
For instance, if I want to be able to transfer the Domeo annotation from
HTML to PDF I need to use prefix/suffix.
If the content you are annotating does not have problems of normalization
you can use begin/end.
