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

@azaroth42 : I am not sure which part of the discussion you want to 
postpone.

1. Writing a separate Note: that, of course, can be done later and, 
actually, it is probably better to do it when the documents are indeed
 in CR, ie, technically stable. 
2. The issue of namespaces, ie, their separation, as well as the 
'superclass' approach described in 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/110#issuecomment-163573384
 is a change we have to do _before_ CR (if we agree to do it); once in
 CR such a technical change is not possible any more.

At this point, the WG has to decide on, essentially, (2) above, I 
believe there is pretty much a consensus on (1).

Note that an alternative that came up in a separate discussion is that
 the note (1), more exactly its RDF companion, would define its own 
namespace and would use `owl:samePropertyAs` to bind terms to the 
annotation vocabulary. That would avoid touching the vocabulary 
document if you think it is too late to do that, but would have the 
same effect. Ain't nice in my view, though. And it also means that it 
would expose the SpecificResource class in general, which is closely 
bound to the annotation use case and is not really meaningful more 
generally... hence my preference for the separate superclass that I 
described in 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/110#issuecomment-160566248...
