As far as I can see, paragraphs currently support *both* kinds of selection:

1) Text selection is reported via the AT-SPI/ATK Text interface.
2) Paragraphs can also have children, e.g. an image (anchored as character and
located inside of the paragraph), and that child can be selected (or not), and
reports the "selected" state accordingly.

@joanie: What's the recommended way to expose that on the a11y layer if not via
the Selection interface?
