@azaroth42 : you propose >multiple selectors SHOULD select the same content (with sufficient flexibility to distinguish intellectual content in different languages, versus the same exact string in different formats/representations), and user agents SHOULD anticipate that some selectors will not have as fine grained selection capabilities as others. The UA MUST pick one of the selected segments, if different segments are described. I guess what it means, referring back to my [earlier comment](https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/207#issuecomment-216022290) and @tbdinesh 's example, this means that >However, if I want to annotate the translations of a book, ie, I want to make a comment on the Dutch but also the Kannada translations, I would think that the example is incorrect, because I should have a separate annotation (ie, separate targets with Specific Resources) on the two translations, and not bound into one with a multiple selector. is indeed incorrect, and the author should use multiple targets itself. All things considered, I am fine with it. I would propose, however, to an an (informative, obviously) note to the text which makes it clear that authors should use the possibility for a multiple target, when appropriate, to avoid the semantic pitfalls. (Note that the resolution on this issue should also be valid for issue #205) -- GitHub Notification of comment by iherman Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/207#issuecomment-216763116 using your GitHub account
