[annotator-dev] Annotator with sentences

If you simply watch for mouse events on the document and modify the
selection using the standard DOM selection API then the subsequent click to
add an annotation should target the whole sentence.

There may be issues with the order of events as the annotator is saving the
current selection as well. One workaround would be to attach your handler
below the document level (perhaps to the body or to each paragraph).
