I think the only answer is "it might do". There's a whole cluster of cases which work in similar ways. How about, for example, a site which temporarily splits in two, then later merges back into a single unified site: do we get the original (pre-splitting) site back? This particular kind of puzzle isn't unique to _web_ resource identity. Many social institutions are able to survive splitting and merging. Maybe there's a clue here: perhaps a web site is best thought of as a sort of social entity. That makes the prospect of defining web site identity criteria look a bit bleak however.
