oa:start and end

Dear OA community,
oa:start[1] and oa:end are incompatible with most of the NLP tools 
including several Web standards.
Maybe this is just my limited knowledge, but I am unaware of any 
standards that count characters. Most are counting the gaps.
So these properties are incompatible with:
- http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xpointer/#b2b1b1b3b6b6
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5147#section-2.1.1
- LAF/Graf ISO standard,
- UIMA
- Gate
- Apache Stanbol and FISE
- NIF

I was absent from this list for a while. Is it still possible to change 
the semantics or add new properties?

All the best,
Sebastian
