Our specs are currently silent on this, but I've often thought we should have a RangeSelector in core. We are already doing this in Hypothesis.

It seems like there's not a confusion of language. It's actually quite harmonious. A Selector is serialiizable data, defined by our model. A Selector could become a Selection after parsing and anchoring to actualized DOM. It's worth establishing some expectations here, since you raise concerns. Does absolutely everything in the openannotation GitHub organization have to be directly related to some aspect of Open Annotation, specifically? I've been operating under the assumption that it could be a place to collect tools and libraries produced by the community which help in the practical implementation of Open Annotation solutions, whether or not they directly relate to concepts from the data model.
