3.5 Resources is flawed #328

Closed llemeurfr closed 6 years ago

llemeurfr commented 6 years ago

In 3.5 Resources, the third para reads:

The manifest itself MUST NOT include a reference to itself, i.e., the reference to the manifest MUST NOT appear as part of the 4.4 Resource Categorization Properties.

This is a constraint on the content of the manifest, found in a section about resources. It should be moved IMO to 4.4 Resource Categorization Properties, in the introduction, before 4.4.1.

Also, the second para reads:

The manifest may be embedded into the primary entry page; in this case the link element MUST use a relative URL to refer to the manifest.

The fact that the manifest can be either embedded in or linked from a resource is not particular to the primary entry page: it is already treated in 3.3 and 3.4. I therefore propose to remove this para.
