Re: [web-annotation] Selector Fragment URI Usage in HTML Serialization Note

>I didn't see the ipr check issue initially, so I guess merging should
 wait for Ivan since I don't know what he does to fix that?

(It is a tool that checks the potential issues on IPR with external 
committers. I have no idea why it complaints about Benjamin, but, at 
this point, I am lazy to chase down this with the system team. I 
always mark the changes non-substantial, which essentially means there
 are no IPR issues, which is true for the note anyway.)

>As for the substance of the examples, interesting but now that I look
 more closely, are we stretching the scope of the Note a little too 
far? As it stands are these annotations or just uses of selectors to 
identify the sources of quotes - i.e., just instances of the 
ResourceSelection class as described in the Selector Note? If so, and 
given that the other examples are annotations, probably should be more
 explicit about this distinction in introducing these examples. But if
 others are also, I'm okay if we want to include examples of 
ResourceSelection class.

I think adding this section is a good idea. One of the issue, that we 
actually ran into yesterday without saying it, is that the 
identification of an element within an HTML source (using, e.g., the 
`@id` attribute) is _not_ the same as referring to the content of that
 element. (RDF affectionados are sensitive to these details.) Using 
the selectors is a clean way of doing that. Maybe a half-sentence 
emphasizing this issue would help.

>It took me a bit to imagine what the json-ld for these examples would
 look like. Could we provide json-ld equivalents? Ivan's converter 
tool does a nice job with these, I think.

If we were to use JSON-LD, then making use of the fragment ID-s may 
become unnecessary. After all, if one uses JSON-LD, then one can 
simply use the selectors as defined originally, without using the 
fragment ID! It is when using RDFa that it becomes a real advantage: 
instead of encoding the whole selector into HTML+RDFa (which is 
tedious), one could simply use a simple IRI with the fragment. That is
 a real win in that world...

>And lastly, these are using Text Position Selector without State 
(which is recommended). Okay, but perhaps we should mention somewhere 
that a refinedBy could be added to align with the recommendation in 
the data model - albeit making everything more complicated (so let's 
not show). Presumably the document targeted is relatively static with 
no real dynamic content. Might need to say this too.

I think this may go a little bit too far into the details. Just 
referring to the selector note saying that much more can be achieved 
by using all the possibilities (and referring to the note) might be 
enough.
