Re: [web-annotation] Multiple Selectors

So here is a "bad scenario" of multiple choices interweaved through 
the proposed pattern.

{
    "type": "SpecificResource",
    "source": "http://example.org"
    "selector": [
        {
            "type": "foo:QuerySelector",
            "value": "knownItem",
            "subSelector": [
                {
                    "type": "foo:PageSelector",
                    "value": "desiredPage",
                    "subSelector": [
                        {
                            "type": "FragmentSelector",
                            "value": "namedSection",
                            "subSelector": [
                                {
                                    "type": "TextPositionSelector",
                                    "start": 5 
                                    "end": 28
                                 },
                                 {
                                    "type": "TextPositionSelectorAlt",
                                    "start": 45 
                                    "end": 68
                                 }
                            ]   
                        },
                        {
                            "type": "TextQuoteSelector",
                            "exact": "quote in namedSelection"
                        } 
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "type": "foo:PageSelectorAlt",
                    "value": "desiredPage",
                    "subSelector": {
                        "type": "FragmentSelector",
                        "value": "namedSection",
                        "subSelector": {
                            "type": "TextPositionSelector",
                            "start": 5 // relative to 
target#namedSelection
                            "end": 28
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "foo:QuerySelector",
            "value": "knownItemAlt",
            "subSelector": {
                "type": "foo:PageSelector",
                "value": "desiredPage",
                "subSelector": {
                    "type": "FragmentSelector",
                    "value": "namedSection",
                    "subSelector": {
                        "type": "TextPositionSelector",
                        "start": 5 // relative to 
target#namedSelection
                        "end": 28
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

And for the inverted structure.

{
    "@type": "SpecificResource",
    "selector": [
            { 
                [
                    {
                        "@type": "TextPositionSelector",
                        "start": 5, 
                        "end": 28
                    },
                    {
                        "@type": "TextPositionSelectorAlt"
                        "start": 45,
                        "end": 68
                    },
                    "source": {
                        "selector": {
                        "@type": "FragmentSelector",
                        "value": "namedSection"
                    }
                ] 
            },
            {
                "type": "TextQuoteSelector",
                "exact": "quote in namedSelection"           
            },
        ],   
        "source": {
            "selector": [
                {
                    "@type": "foo:PageSelector",
                    "value": "desiredPage"
                },
                {
                    "@type": "foo:PageSelectorAlt",
                    "value": "desiredPage"            
                }
            ],
            "source" : {
                "selector": [
                    {
                        "@type": "foo:QuerySelector",
                        "value": "knownItem"
                    },
                    {
                        "@type": "foo:QuerySelector",
                        "value": "knownItem"
                    }
                ],
                "source": "http://example.org"
            }
        }
    }
}

Again, I think these kind of complex chains of choices are likely 
edgecases. A more likely pattern is one choice between a single 
selector and a chain of two selectors.
