[web-annotation] Range Selector

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

== Range Selector ==
For discussion, I present a proposal for a range selector. The purpose
 of this selector is to generalize the selection of the content 
described by a range from a start point to an end point, without 
constraining the means of describing either.

This proposal is a reaction to, and result of discussion about, an 
XPath selector as described in #95.

Repeating an excerpt of my comments there as a starting point for 
discussion, I believe the following benefits are offered:

- Flexible in that it can utilize any existing selector type for its 
start and end
- Allows a construction that closely matches a DOM Range

And the following negative complexity is introduced:

- Increases the number of objects and depth of the graph another level
