Bodies and targets clarification in content-state section linking HTTP GET Parameter

giacomomarchioro opened this issue · comments

Just a clarification linked to IIIF/cookbook-recipes#485

In content state 3.1. Linking: HTTP GET (Query String) Parameter section:

When the intention is to initialize the viewer at a particular part of the resource, the client provides more than just a URI; it must provide either the full annotation as in 2.2.1., or, preferably (for brevity) the body of the annotation, as in 2.2.3

Section 2.2.1 refers actually to the target body.

I guess that section 3.1 is actually referring to target or target body not the body.

I was also wondering if it would be better to call the section just target because in WAD I cannot find any reference to targets bodies, but maybe I am wrong.

I think this is a bug/typo in the spec. There's no such thing as a target body, should just be the target.
