[annotator-dev] Annotations over modified text

[Randall Leeds]

There is no "standard way" because correctness in the face of changes is
often subjective.

There is a bit of history around the Annotator and Annotator-derived
Hypothesis project of efforts to use different identifiers for ranges as a
way to find text that is more likely to be correct than the text that
happens to be at the same xpath and offset.

The support libraries for this are all standalone modules:

https://github.com/tilgovi/dom-anchor-fragment
https://github.com/tilgovi/dom-anchor-text-position
https://github.com/tilgovi/dom-anchor-text-quote

Integration into Annotator v1.2 is not provided anywhere. Hypothesis
achieves it be aggressive subclassing and overriding of many of the methods
of the Annotator class.

I am working now to split apart more of the lifecycle hooks in Annotator v2
so that there are extensibility points for extensions to participate in
text range identification using these modules. I don't have a timeline for
that.
