"Nested documents and images do not share binding documents with each 
other or with their container document."
That sentence was saying "resources" instead of "binding documents" and 
was then disagreeing. Now, it's fine.

I think that with the latest fixes, the whole section 8.1.1 is right, 
except that you could move the sentence "Binding documents that are 
currently loading count as binding documents that are already loaded for 
the purposes of this reuse mechanism." at the end of the section since 
the example below illustrates the sharing part and not the loading part.

Concerning section 8.1.2, I'm not sure I agree. What are the cases that 
are covered by this sentence: "When the specification simply says that 
the external resource must be loaded" ?
