Comments on DI Glossary

Hi,

Reading through the DI Glossary published on January 2005 [1], I noted
the following points:
* "perceivable unit" and "user experience" have (mostly) the same
definition; this seems quite odd to me, as the concepts seem pretty far
apart in their common sense
* "Resource Manifestation" is an outdated terminology; Web Arch (and
other documents) uses Representation [2]; more generally, I would be
very cautious with terms and definitions from the Web Characterization
Terminology & Definitions sheets, since most of them are likely to have
better equivalents.
* the definition for URI should be replaced by something more official
(e.g. the one in Web Arch [2]); in any case, the current one is wrong (a
URI is not necessarily "short", and I'm not sure "an HTML document, an
image, a down-loadable file" are the best examples of resources [they
rather are representations AFAICT]).
* I'm not sure what the point of having an additional definition for
"Web Page Identifier"; what does it bring over URI?
