bug in Web Page definition

The current definition of web page is below.   Since FTP and email also use
URIs it has been suggested that we include HTTP  in the definition.  So that
it reads   [edits shown in square brackets]

 


Web Page


a non-embedded resource [obtained] from a single URI [using HTTP] plus any
other resources that are used in the rendering or intended to be rendered
together with it by a user agent
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#useragentdef>  

 

Comments? 

Thanks

Web page 


a non-embedded resource from a single URI plus any other resources that are
used in the rendering or intended to be rendered together with it by a user
agent <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#useragentdef>  

Note 1: Although any "other resources" would be rendered together with the
primary resource, they would not necessarily be rendered simultaneously with
each other.

Note 2: For the purposes of conformance with these guidelines, a resource
must be "non-embedded" within the scope of conformance to be considered a
Web page.

Example 1: A Web resource including all embedded images and media.

Example 2: A Web mail program built using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
(AJAX). The program lives entirely at http://example.com/mail, but includes
an inbox, a contacts area and a calendar. Links or buttons are provided that
cause the the inbox, contacts, or calendar to display, but do not change the
URL of the page as a whole.

Example 3: A customizable portal site, where users can choose content to
display from a set of different content modules.

Example 4: When you enter "http://shopping.example.com/" in your browser,
you enter a movie-like interactive shopping environment where you visually
move about a store dragging products off of the shelves around you and into
a visual shopping cart in front of you. Clicking on a product causes it to
be demonstrated with a specification sheet floating alongside.
