Re: [web-annotation] Make Selectors available for the wide world?

**If** we're extracting anything, I'd prefer we extract all of Section
 4: Specific Resource, discuss it's pieces for their broadest possible
 use (State, Style, etc), and move things *back* into the Annotation 
Model if they are deemed to be Annotation specific--which I'm pretty 
sure none of these are.

However, to Rob's point about...
> The great thing about RDF is that you can pull appropriate classes 
and predicates from different vocabularies and use them as needed.
...we (as a WG) would need a clear reason why extracting it from 
Annotation and (our...presumably) publishing it as a separate document
 was more valuable and/or less confusing than RDF folks (etc) 
depending on the Annotation context and vocabulary to get access to 
SpecificResource, Selector, etc.

@iherman given that you're a key driver here, what do you see as the 
benefits of SpecificResource, Selector (and/or the other bits) being 
put into a separate document over folks just "consuming" the 
Annotation vocab into their APIs?

Other than "marketing" SpecificResource as a "new thing" with value 
all it's own (beyond annotation--which it certainly does have), I 
don't see much more that it gets us, but happy to be wrong.
