Re: [web-annotation] (model) vague definition of charactor position for text position selector

@iherman Transforms such as NFC might actually interfere with the 
intention of web annotation, since the normalization of the text has 
the potential to change the number of code points/code units in the 
text, making it harder to identify the location intended. In addition,
 normalization might make some selections (in a purposefully 
de-normalized text) impossible.

It is usually best to define offset in terms of Unicode code points. I
 see @r12a just provided a bunch of reference while typing this, so 
I'll leave it at that.
