We desperately need to get a better offline story. The counter proposal to this that I had is going to take a lot longer to hammer out and get to a state where we can ship. Or rather, it'll take longer to get to a point where we're confident it's not repeating a lot of the mistakes of appcache-v1.

Implementation detail, but I presume that you will also replace the existing appcache impl with NC, right? Ehsan Akhgari wrote: Offline not working seems like the #1 problem of the web platform, so working on this API does not really feel premature to me. __

Intent to implement seems premature. Why wouldn't we wait to see how this goes and let Google do that. I really dislike the idea of rushing into this API. A programatic API that does something like AppCache is a good idea -- only in that it is better than the declarative shit AppCache is. W
