/*
The selector locates elements that are suitable for annotation and enables
the user to select them.

On 'mouseenter' events associated with <p> elements:
- if the selector is active and the element is not already annotated
- find the nearest ancestor which has an id attribute: this is supposed to
make identification of this element more accurate
- highlight the element
- bind 'click' for the element to send a message back to the add-on, including
all the information associated with the anchor.
