I tend to agree with Simon.  "set of rules" as a forward reference to
the rest of the document, doesn't make for a great opening, IMO.  I
think we could try and distill the core rules (identity, generic
interface) for this opening.

How about replacing that first paragraph with;

  The World Wide Web ("Web") is a networked information space which
  encompasses all things with identity ("resources").  Resources are
  made accessible, and potentially manipulable, via a generic interface
  whose application semantics are applicable to all resources.
