How does site-specific preferences determine what a site is, though? Is 
everything under one domain name considered to be one site? Is it 
everything with same domain name and host name? What about parts of the 
path in the URL?

To use Dot Mac as an example...

http://www.mac.com/ is a different site from http://webmail.mac.com/

and

http://homepage.mac.com/jmbrew/ could be considered a different site 
from http://homepage.mac.com/steve/

To use Ebay as an example...

http://www.ebay.com/ should be considered the same site as 
http://signin.ebay.com/

How does OmniWeb 5 treat these situations?
