 * Generic DataModel annotation.

 * This is an abstract class, annotations should extend this and call this constructor from their
 * constructor. You should not instantiate this class directly.
 *
 * Annotations in the linear model are instances of subclasses of this class. Subclasses are
 * required to have a constructor with the same signature.
 *
 * this.htmlTagName and this.htmlAttributes are private to the base class, subclasses must not
 * use them. Any information from the HTML element that is needed later should be extracted into
 * this.data by overriding getAnnotationData(). Subclasses can read from this.data but must not
 * write to it directly.
 *
 * @class
 * @constructor
 * @param {HTMLElement|Object} [element] HTML element the annotation was converted from, if any, or
 * an object to copy into the annotation's data property

 * manipulated by UI widgets, and you access it as this.data in toHTML() on the way out and in
 * renderHTML() for rendering. It is also the ONLY data you can reliably use in those contexts, so
 * any information from the HTML element that you'll need later should be extracted into the data
 * object here.

 * it should call its parent's implementation first, then manipulate the return value.
