Comment (by jonsurrell):

 Seeking relies on moving to a specific location in the HTML string and
 advancing to the next token at that location. This means that seeking to
 virtual tokens unsupported.

 I think the most reasonable thing when attempting to set a bookmark at a
 virtual token is to return `false` and refuse to set the bookmark.

 There could be some much more complicated virtual token accounting, but
 that would introduce significant complexity and can be considered an
 enhancement.
