I just had to go and check whether Amazon reviews and Facebook
comments actually do have their own pages. That's because I've never
seen them presented as anything other than objects within another
container, either in a web page or a mobile app. So I think you could
argue that when people are "linking" and marking things as useful,
they're doing that on a more general abstraction, i.e. the "Work" (to
borrow FRBR terminology) not the particular web page.
You have to apply context to your statement above. Is the context:
WWW as an
Information space or Data Space?
I can't answer that because I don't know what you mean by those terms.
It's just a web of resources as far as I'm concerned.

Leigh,
In addition to the above, and bearing in mind Harry's contribution to
this conversation, here is one of his presentations in which slide #2
makes reference to WWW as an Information Space [1].
