Thus, if according to my example I make a conformance claim about a.html, and b.html (to which LONGDESC refers) isn't part of the same Web unit, an evaluator can't take it into account in assessing the conformance of a.html. I would have to amend my conformance claim explicitly to include b.html. I know this may seem pedantic, but that's how technical specifications are applied, particularly when controversy arises.
