Remarks
To create a smart tag session, use CreateSmartTagSession, add some context data into the session's property bag, and call Start.
During the Start call, the session is calculated for the first time, and in AugmentSmartTagSession the smart tag source can return actions to be added to the ActionSets. ISmartTagSource objects should also set the ApplicableToSpan property based on the context data that was earlier added to the session's property bag. If, during any smart tag session calculation, the session does not get actions or an applicability span, the session will be immediately dismissed.
