...especially of a web-published document?

I've already given you examples here: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/169407

I doubt any court will take that on.

But, the point is, your doubts count for nothing - you need to take proper legal advice if you're actually going to do this!
That was the only point I raised.

If it was once freely disseminated, and later withdrawn without protocol, I don't think you'll convince any court there's been economic harm or any infringement.

You're still missing the point: "infringement" is any infrigement of whatever conditions the owner likes - it has nothing specifically to do with "economic harm"

The original publisher intended it to be used as it is being used.

No, they didn't.
In this example, they intended it just that their customers would use it as part of the design-in of their products - what you are proposing is a quite different use in collecting it into a "library".
