 * <li> visual range indication
 * <li> management of text viewer add-ons
 * <li> explicit configuration
 * </ul>
 * It is assumed that range indication and visual annotations are shown
 * inside the same presentation area. There are no assumptions about 
 * whether this area is different from the viewer's text widget.<p>
 * As the visibility of visual annotations can dynamically be changed, 
 * it is assumed that the annotation presentation area can dynamically 
 * be hidden if it is different from the text widget.<p>
 * Clients may implement this interface or use the default implementation provided
