No. I think you're losing the "linked" distinction. * You can use the Web to distribute data, but... * ...if that data doesn't name and distinguish entities using URIs, then it isn't (usefully) linked * ...if that data doesn't declare relationships between entities with URI-named predicates, then it isn't (usefully) linked So, given a client's ability to interpret relationships between entities expressed via e.g. RDFa, an HTML page can easily contribute to the Web of Data.
