Ori, Thank you for this fun-to-read introduction to Module Storage. I wonder if this will have any affect on low bandwidth users. It seems like this would help if someone had only a 2G/GPRS connection, but do a lower percentage of those users have browsers that can use Module Storage? If so, is there anything that we can to do address this issue? I imagine there are things we could do in the software, but those things would take work and time that might not make sense for limited resources. Would it make sense to see if Mozilla has any interest in helping to spread HTML5-capable browsers via USB keychains and/or local Mozillians? Hrm... I should probably go ask them about that. But I'm curious about your perspective and to see if we have any information on the bandwidth available to various users.
