Yes, that was the intent. As I mentioned to Luc, making clear the connectedness of the documents would further help differentiate a publication from a random set of documents. Their being connected in no way implies packaging, as having bounds doesn't necessitate packaging.

That says packaged!   And, IMO, we need to be VERY CLEAR for WP that we are *not* talking about packaging.    If nothing else, get rid of the “into a single logical work”.

 

I think this just expresses the notion that a web publication represents a single conceptual work, and that the abstract manifest serves to unite the components in a logical sense. I don't see this implying that a web publication is a single web resource or file.

 

A web publication of Moby-Dick may have 136 separate HTML files, but it's still a single web publication, and a single logical work. I don't believe this statement implies otherwise.
