Anything at all is always "a component inside some larger..." thing.

Clearly, we're evolving to an information architecture that is larger
in scope than what is currently implemented by current clients and
servers on the Internet. You may choose to call that larger thing
'WWW' or something else, depending on your perspective. Insofar as it
affects the charter of this working group, the requirements for URNs
and URLs discussed the requirements for naming and location of
resources on (via) the Internet generally; I presume that this will be
the case with URCs as well.
