Not sure what counts as "dependency" specification. I'm ready to believe 
that HTML5 currently references other specs that get this wrong, too. 
But what's relevant here are the specs that define the term.

Furthermore, as explained earlier, HTML5 is inconsistent in itself; and 
that's something that should be fixed. If "Foobar" is the thing 
identified by a URL (HTML5) then it simply can't be a bag-of-bits at the 
same time.
