I grant that you can insist the selector be evaluated against normalized text Nodes. That's a good point. But my understanding of XPath doesn't include any way to measure text offsets from Elements, only within Text Nodes, though I may be missing something. The selector can be more robust against formatting changes by ignoring inline content. This requires measuring from some ancestor Element, a block element in this example. One might get more particular, measuring from the start of an article or main tag, or a p tag ancestor. Making Range generic and letting XPath stand alone would mean that you could describe the boundaries as CSS or XPath and optionally offsets therefrom. -- GitHub Notif of comment by tilgovi See https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/95#issuecomment-153538422
