[web-annotation] Remove purpose=commenting requirement from bodyValue

azaroth42 has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== Remove purpose=commenting requirement from bodyValue ==

We heard several times last week that there was confusion as to why 
the bodyValue text must be treated as commenting, rather than simply 
following the motivation for the Annotation.

As purpose is not required for TextualBody, there's no way to 
introspect on the bodyValue to figure out what it should be, we heard 
a lot of requests for using it for plain text tagging ... I propose to
 remove the restriction that the purpose must be considered to be 
commenting.  A system encountering an annotation with a motivation 
that isn't commenting and with bodyValue would not know what to do.
