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

@azaroth42 Actually, the normalization of whitespace I treated as your
 requirement. If there is no requirement to normalize whitespace on 
your side, then I concur that normalizing whitespace can be removed. 
The note about no trim being implied, however, probably needs to 
remain.

I'm a little concerned about how a TextQuoteSelector that contains 
only the exact, prefix, and suffix text  can:

If all you have is the sentence, then you can't tell which repetition 
is expected. By way of example, I give you:

> Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
> Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
