Re: Annotation Serializations

Dear Ivan and Doug,
I believe the HTML use case can be very useful.

The proposed code brings up the use of rdf:value vs cnt:chars that is
currently recommended in the specs.
The use of Content in RDF  ( http://www.w3.org/TR/Content-in-RDF10/ ) has
been discussed multiple times within the Community Group.

This is how an embedded body looks like according to specs:

<body1> a cnt:ContentAsText, dctypes:Text ;
    cnt:chars "content" ;
    dc:format "text/plain" .

And this is a textual Tag:

<tag1> a oa:Tag, cnt:ContentAsText ;
    cnt:chars "tag" .


Best,
Paolo
