The DI glossary defines "Delivery Unit" as
A set of material transferred between two cooperating web programs
as the response to a single HTTP request. The transfer might, for
example, be between an origin server and a user agent.
Users are not normally aware of individual delivery units.
(<http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-delivery-unit>)
So this cannot mean an (X)HTML document plus the referenced images,
scripts, style sheets, etc, because they are retrieved by different HTTP
requests each. So what is a delivery unit then?
