“consider a page part of the IndieWeb if it has a microformats2 class or advertizes a webmention or micropub endpoint.” If I'm remembering correctly, I believe that quote originated from Ryan when he was trying to find criteria to estimate how many indieweb sites are out there. I don't think it was meant to be a litmus test for whether one is indieweb or not.

Ryan’s quote about how to check for possible indieweb properties was used in that context and, while it may not be a litmus test, checking for x or y rather than x and y implies only one is required.
But this is the current difficulty with defining exactly what constitutes an indieweb site.
