Then you can write a single set of pages that can function online or offline. HTTP caching instructions take care of application updating. We could automatically allow a site to pin N% of your disk space, if your free disk space is >M% of total; if they try to go over that, the user has to approve it. | ||
:Instead of providing a manifest, a more Web-friendly approach might be to crawl the page. Basically, when you select a page for offline viewing (which could be as simple as just bookmarking it), we pin it and also download and pin any of the resources we would if we were doing Save As --- images, stylesheets, scripts, IFRAMEs. In addition we could provide a new 'rel' value for <a> links that says "crawl this link for offline viewing". This would be really easy for Web developers to use and maintain and not too difficult to implement, I suspect. Application crawling and download could be done in the background. | |||

:roc: I really like the bookmarks UI idea. When we're in offline mode bookmarks for pages that are not available should be disabled with a tooltip explaining why. | |||
