Most (probably all) browsers have caching, but you may not be able to rely on 
your app being cached.

A web app can't do everything a desktop or mobile app can do (and vice-versa), 
so I recommend that you stop to consider what features you actually can deliver 
over the web, then consider how to deliver it.  If your users are only 
temporarily away from their devices, they may not need access to every feature. 
 If they are using a borrowed browser, how will they remember what URL to 
navigate to?  If they are just going to their company's main site to login, the 
main site can redirect them to smaller sub-sections of the app.

Royale (and Flex) support the concept of Modules where portions of the app can 
be downloaded on demand.  A FormManager web app wouldn't have every form in the 
initial download, it would download the form the user chooses.

    Thanks for the detailed information Alex. I have never written a web app in
    any language, so have just a couple of concerns. One is bandwidth and
    expense. My AIR app is big enough that if the app needs to be downloaded
    every single time a person wants to toy around with it, it would get quite
    expensive for me. Do web apps get cached on a users device so that it
    doesn't have to be downloaded with every use? If so, how does it know when
    you have made a change to the app that requires it to be downloaded again?
