My, er, intent was that this is a necessary, not sufficient,  
condition. I don't think we need a sufficient condition for anything  
on the Web that can't be stated in terms of XXTP responses and codes.

Nope. I have myself put up websites that people have asked me to,  
without the slightest intent, myself, to communicate with anyone. In  
fact, without any intent than to satisfy the customer who is paying  
me. But it was me that put it there, no doubt about that (which wass  
WHY they paid me, in fact.)
