I see you're taking the "link" part as necessity for beign "web", while i take HTTP, universal URL accessibility as the necessary part. E.g. i think this is on the web, even with no links out :) http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1184/761024134_63a92cc274.jpg but i see your point.

I can hardly imagine even the plain ol' Web without links: otherwise it would be just a gigantic set of files accessible via, say, ftp (albeit with a different protocol, as you notice) :-)
