Re: [web-annotation] XPath Range Selector

You're right.

I had similar concern that these are valid XPath expressions but they 
are not location paths and they evaluate to strings, not node sets.

I don't think there is any path expression that selects characters. 
That's outside of the XPath model, and into XPointer territory.

A generic range with two boundaries, each an XPath subSelector 
TextPosition, still seems like a correct description of a text 
selection to me.
