[web-annotation] 0-1 or 0-n string bodies

azaroth42 has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== 0-1 or 0-n string bodies ==

>From #79, there was no consensus around how many strings could be used
 as the body of an Annotation.  The current WD has 0-1, but there was 
unresolved discussion as to whether there should be an array of 
strings.

My proposal is close wontfix (e.g. use the current 0-1) -- the 
advantage of the string body is that it has a completely flat 
structure with no sub-resources (objects) or lists (arrays).  By 
introducing complexity in the simplest case, we reduce the simplicity 
and thereby the benefit of allowing this pattern at all.
