I think, Carlos talks about parts of the web site, not parts of a resource. But http://example.com/nav identifies a resource, not a directory with various sub-directories. AFAIK, there is no such thing as a directory in URLs, however URLs can be hierarchical. > <blockqoute> > Example 1: On 23 March 2005, http://www.wondercall.example.com conforms > to W3C's WCAG 2.0, Conformance Level A. > </blockqoute> > > In this case, they are apparently referring to a whole subdomain just > namin the base URI > > It could be very interesting if somebody from the WCAG WG could clarify > whether it was the intention of the examples or not. > </quote> > > I can't remember the discussion about this example, but my assumption > is that the URI identifies a subdomain. How can it? It identifies a resource. -- Johannes Koch - Competence Center BIKA Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT.LIFE) Schloss Birlinghoven, D-53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany Phone: +49-2241-142628
