* Added a link to the issue
* Removed the contributor section. A wiki is useful specifically because we tend to edit to the goal of the page not expressing our individual opinions. Plus for history there is already a log.
* I also updated the goal section with
How can a site tell in what category it is (wrt a
request). Identifying a group of sites belonging to the
same commercial entity is hard. There are many cases:
* bigco.example.com has another company
sisterco.example.net. They could contain an additional
HTTP header pointing to a BigCo sitemap containing a
list of all subcompanies. ISSUE: This format doesn't
exist and it is very unlikely to have a consensus
about it in a short time. It would be very hard to
maintain. Specifically with companies having hundred
of Web sites across the world (different TLDs),
promotional Web sites (for example movie site which
lasts usually a couple of years and dies), etc.
* example.com/littleCo and example.com/tinyCo sharing
the same example.com. There are plenty of small
businesses out there sharing the same domain name. The
domain name in this case is not anymore a good
metaphor for exposing the commercial entity. There can
be thousands of commercial entities under the same
domain name but having different paths.
Because of at least these two cases, any associated
sites should always be considered third party with
regards to the first one. Note that it doesn't solve the
second case of businesses sharing the same domain name.
