[annotator-dev] how to deal with content change.

[Shi Yan]

I guess I can self answer my question now after looking at the source code.

annotator has some fault tolerance, if it can't find a matching pattern in
the current document, the annotation won't be shown.

this is implemented via xpath-range.


this fault tolerance is good enough for me I think.
