That's cheating. *You* are declaring that http://www.markbaker.ca is my "homepage". Well, I don't really know what a "homepage" is, all I know is that "http://www.markbaker.ca" identifies me, the person. I suppose it could be said that "http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html" (the HTML representation of me) is my "homepage", depending upon your definition. But those are two separate resources, and only I get to assert the relationship between them. FWIW, HTTP supports me fully in making this assertion (though I can't configure Apache properly 8-( ); no inconsistency is created by doing this.
