So how do you interpret this bit?
[[
- Section 3.1: "BigRetailer receives a Web Publication from
EsteemedPublisher that it intends to add to its catalogue. BigRetailer
wants to adds it own “teaser” via an alternative reading order. To achieve
that, BigRetailer provides its own version of the publication’s manifest,
that the user agent will use instead of the publisher’s manifest."
Does that mean a replacement of a manifest file, or a different FRBR
manifest? It could be either. Worse, computer scientists and librarians
will parse it differently, with both parties being certain that they
understood.
