Re: [web-annotation] Reference to text encoding in spec perhaps not appropriate

@aphillips you say:

>Regarding the dir attribute, one of the uses of markup is to provide 
help to the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UBA) in laying out text 
for presentation. When the markup is removed, reducing the content to 
plain text, dir attributes can be replaced with the corresponding 
Unicode bidirectional control characters, preserving proper 
presentation. Several of our articles discuss this here. 

But, again, the normalization is _not_ done for display, but only for 
a canonical form for comparison. Doesn't that mean that all this can 
be ignored _in this case_?
