Yes, this is how I see it, too now

The problem I see is that we would want a simple way to remember one web
"link". This includes generated pages. IMHO nfo:Bookmark is no solution
as it also links to a DataObject. Just using RemoveDataObject seems not
specific enough since searching for web links only is a typical task.

Thus, I think we need something like nfo:Webpage.
