In my mind "the web" includes > anything that can be named with a URI, which is most of the Internet... Hmmm....I only use the wording "the web" is only used for the subset of what is transported over the http protocol, can be named with a http URI, and accessed with a "web browser" -- PLUS "embedded content" in the webpages which the user is accessing -- PLUS accompanying things like WEBDAV abilities to edit that data documents. I.e. "the web" is for me a subset of what you think is the web. Interesting... paf
