+ <var>A</var>[<var>index</var>] is not <var>B</var>[<var>index</var>], then return false.

+ <li><p>Return true.

+
+<p class=note>As <a for=/>URL path segments</a> never contain U+002F (/), this can only be true when
+<var>B</var> covers whole segments of <var>A</var>. That makes it suitable for deciding whether one
+<a for=/>URL path</a> is contained by another, which comparing serializations is not: the
+serialization of « "<code>foo</code>" » is a prefix of that of « "<code>foobar</code>" ».

This is great. I've reused a bunch of your suggested words here.
