Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Scroll To Text (#392)

The Web Annotations WG did also create a [fragment selector proposal as part of a *note*](https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-states/#frags) and there are a handful of existing implementations of those among web annotation tool providers--[Apache Annotator](https://annotator.apache.org/) among them (see [demo](https://annotator.apache.org/demo/#selector(type=TextQuoteSelector,exact=annotated%20world!))).

So...[Web Annotation Fragment Selectors](https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-states/#frags):
```
https://annotator.apache.org/demo/#selector(type=TextQuoteSelector,exact=annotated%20world!))
```
vs.
```
https://example.org/##targetText=annotated%20world!
```

The Web Annotation Data Model (and it's Open Annotation predecessor) are widely used in digital heritage communities such as those using the [International Image Interoperability Framework](https://iiif.io/) or projects like [Pelagios](https://pelagios.org/about-us/) or online [article publishing](https://dokie.li/#selector(type=TextQuoteSelector,exact=article%20publishing)) tools like [dokie.li](https://dokie.li/). Additionally, general purpose web annotation systems like [Hypothes.is](https://web.hypothes.is/) and [Pundit](https://thepund.it/) support Web Annotation Data Model compatible exports.

All of these communities would benefit from a text selection fragment identifier which was compatible with the Web Annotation Data Model structure such that conversions could be made between the two by existing implementations.
