I think a smart browser would include "am I offline" in it's heuristic for granting storage space.

Anyone wanting to debate whether or not the UA should be free to clean up
"persistent storage" without asking the user should read
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-August/thread.html#22289
and
the various other threads it spawned first and only re-start things if they
have new information to add.

I read it, but I don't see a consensus formed before it died off. Am I missing something?
