Chromium has no behavior whatsoever yet... the feature is utterly
unimplemented thus far... but it will have identical behavior to
safari, iphone, andriod by virtue of the same code base performing
those behaviors... thats the plan at least, and I'm working on the
code now.

Gears (i'm partly guilty of that) users have similar issues with the
gears system. Developing for 'offline' butts heads ( <verb> <noun>,
not buttheads :O) with standard operating procedures for web
development (put new stuff on server, hit reload, repeat as needed).

I can think of at least some things that may help?

* if the user-agent had a debugging level feature (in some debug/tools
menu) to blow away the current appcache. would that help? Or perhaps a
UI to show appcaches and a option to 'remove' one?

The former could be provided without any spec changes and agreement
amoungst browser vendors.  We're not far enough along with this
feature in chrome to be too concerned with UI yet... but I'll write
this down in my design doc.
