Is "Indexed by URL" sufficient? #24

Open BigBlueHat opened 6 years ago

BigBlueHat commented 6 years ago

In #23 one of the "associated requirements" listed within the PWP section of the Web Packaging spec is...

Indexed by URL: Resources on the web are addressed by URL.

Practically, this means that:

  1. everything in the package is also independently retrievable via its URL
  2. there is no additional mechanism for pointing at things within the package (i.e. no fragment identifier)
  3. there cannot be (consequently) any "package-only" or "interior" resources

There may be other consequences (positive and negative) of this design which we should consider.
