Hi, Carlos, While we do still need to discuss what a Web unit is, I think this issue is separate. Think about how we would want to answer the question for HTML pages. If you have a complex web site, with different areas providing different kinds of functionality, targeting different audiences, etc., should these success criteria be applied over the entire site? Separately over subsections of the site? If you are creating a web application, are the answers the same?
