In general, I like where this is going. I think that the characterization of "Web services" is incorrect though. There are a huge number of arbitrary interactions that occur on the web through POST and other interactions that are not just retrieval of representations. So I think that we should not talk about "retrieval of representations" and rather talk about interacting with the resources. I also suggest removing "information" from "information resources". > > +The World Wide Web is a networked information space consisting > > of information resources which > have global identifiers.

I'd rather stick with Roy's original text. Cheers, Dave
