I tend to agree with Simon. "set of rules" as a forward reference to
the rest of the document, doesn't make for a great opening, IMO. I
think we could try and distill the core rules (identity, generic
interface) for this opening.
How about replacing that first paragraph with;
The World Wide Web ("Web") is a networked information space which
encompasses all things with identity ("resources"). Resources are
made accessible, and potentially manipulable, via a generic interface
whose application semantics are applicable to all resources.
