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

== Exact syntax for the selectors-as-fragments ==
The current, functional formalism might become a bit too complex to 
parse (after my first experimentation). It may be simpler to implement
 if we do, instead of

```
http://example.org/ebook1#selector(TextPositionSelector,start(412),end(795))
```

something like

```
http://example.org/ebook1#selector(type=TextPositionSelector,start=412,end=795)
```
it is slightly more verbose, but maybe more in line with the usual 
syntax on URI-s, too

(The problem seems to be around (1) recursion on the functional 
syntax, and (2) the fact that the type just appears as an atom, 
without anything else.)
