Ah, right. I should have noticed sooner. Your mistake is assuming that
annotator-store issues tokens at all, but that part is up to your
application since it has to do with user accounts. It is how you hook your
application's authentication up to the store. Information account this is
on the wiki for okfn/annotator (not store) under authentication. You can
also see okfn/annotateit or hypothesis/h for sample implementations.
