We do this by having a parameter for some of our standard annotators, like our 
RegexAnnotator, that allows the user to specify an annotation type.  If a type 
is specified then the operations of the annotator are restricted to the covered 
text of the annotation type instances specified.  If no annotation type is 
provided then the entire document is assumed.  In that way we can have 
annotators that perform some logic to find the regions of interest and then the 
subsequent annotators only operate on those regions.
