Re: Call for Consensus: Publish First Public Working Draft of FindText API, respond by 14 October

Hi, Raphaël–

Yes, this is one narrowly-scoped piece of generalized functionality that 
we hope can get broad agreement and implementation.

It's just one of the building blocks of a full set of robust anchoring 
features, some of which might be standardized, but which may actually be 
done in script. We'll most likely gather together those pieces in the 
sort of umbrella document you suggest… maybe something like "Mapping Web 
Annotation Data Model Selectors to Client-side APIs" (or something more 
pithy.
