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

@jjett :

> @iherman I think your suggestion over complicates the situation. If 
we're limiting ourselves to pure RDF issues then the purpose of the 
Specific Resource is to act as a signpost indicating under which 
circumstances a group of assertions about some web resource is true. 
However since Specific Resource is a class it has no relationship to 
the annotation class per se (such relationships are the product of the
 hasBody and hasTarget predicates). As long as we don't define the 
class in such a way that it must be interpreted as something only ever
 within the range of the hasBody and hasTarget predicates then I don't
 see any reason not to expose it for use in contexts outside of 
annotations (in which it is only contingently involved in anyway).

As I said, the current setup is not fundamentally wrong. What worries 
me is that there _are_ annotation specific properties that trigger a 
typing on Specific Resource, and that is what bothers me. But bothers 
me only a little, again as I said, I will not start a fight on this:-)
