[annotator-dev] annotator 2 (master) / no ownerDocument exception

[Benjamin Young]

Hey Andrew,

TextSelector is assuming element is a pure DOM element (not a jQuery/jqLite
object), so if you change your code as follows, you should be fine:

```
var region = document.querySelector( '#regionToAnnotateId' );
$scope.annotator = new Annotator(region);
```

`.ownerDocument` is property of the DOM Node returned by `.querySelector()`
so TextSelector can do the right thing.

Cheers,
Benjamin
