That is already in the text that gets saved -- in the "quote" field I

You have to set the uri yourself when initializing the annotator on that
page -- I guess we could default it to window.location but the point was for
the Service to set the uri so that it could be used as a docid if wanted.
(also means if you move pages around you can still get the right annotations
...)
