DPUB Set of Web Pages

Note: DPUB members, this is my personal opinion, not speaking for WG

Today we discussed ways that we could role a DPUB package into our
definition of web page.

DPUB packages have more than one URL, and as such cannot be considered
under our current definition as a web page. However, we have a useful
definition in WCAG which lends itself ideally to a DPUB document. That is a
"Set of Web Pages"

set of Web pages

collection of Web pages <https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#webpagedef> that
share a common purpose and that are created by the same author, group or
organization

*Note: *Different language versions would be considered different sets of
Web pages.
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#set-of-web-pagesdef

We could add something like this to the definition

"Example: An epub publication has a table of contents and 25 separate URLs
representing each chapter of a digital book."

If the DPUB team has Success Criteria they would like to propose for WCAG,
for DEC 1st, I suggest they submit them using this definition. For
instance, if they want ways to link from a TOC to another chapter of the
document and back, they could propose something like:

       "Every link from a Table of Contents in a set of web pages has a
corresponding link back to the Table of Contents"

Of course this SC  is just off the top of my head but it gives an idea of
how this type of SC could be written with this language.

=============
Also we discussed meta data as a means of reporting conformance. WCAG 2 has
a discussion of meta data in Appendix C which may be useful.
