Hi, folks– After talking about Robust Anchoring with many people over the course of the last couple years (!), with encouragement and good criticisms, I've refined my notion of what's needed for a client-side API for Robust Anchoring. I've drawn up a strawman of my current thinking for an API called RangeFinder [1]. It's very rough in places, but I'd appreciate any feedback on the spec as it stands. I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts or opinions on it at this stage. I'm not sure it's mature enough for this yet, but at some point, I'd like to engage the research and academic communities and the experts who've published on text search algorithms, to polish this up and make it not quite as embarrassing as it is currently. If anyone knows who we should contact in that regard, please chime in. This is a great opportunity to leverage all that research in the service of Web developers and browsers!
