Re: [web-annotation] Replace textDirection property with recommendation for including control characters in the text

Merging from #335:

The properties are not only for embedded strings (which in JSON we can
 expect to be unicode) but for arbitrary resources with URIs. I have 
no idea how PDFs store text strings (for example) and how well 
implemented the control characters are in those strings, but I can 
point you to many instances of older or just badly implemented XML 
documents in a huge variety of encodings. As these resources can take 
the role of the body of the Annotation, the unicode proposal isn't 
sufficient to address the requirements.
