[web-annotation] Multiple States

azaroth42 has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== Multiple States ==
(Splitting from #93)

Issue: If you have both an HttpRequestState and a TimeState, then it 
is unclear as to whether a client should interpret this as a choice 
between the two States, or that both should be applied.   For example,
 if there is a resource that provides content negotiation in format, 
and there is a particular time at which the annotation should be 
applied, then both would be needed.  Alternatively, if there is a copy
 provided somewhere, then either using the HTTP headers or just using 
the copy would be valid.  

This could be described with List/Choice, but the model does not 
specify this.

Proposal: Following on from #93, add `subState` along the lines of 
`subSelector`.  Do the first State, and then do the State refered to 
by subState. If there are multiple States referenced directly, then 
they are different alternatives.
