I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. The only downside I can so far see is that the amount of browser storage available varies drastically [1] and I wonder whether this will cause upsets for those browsers with extremely strict limits.
I've also been toying with the idea of using localStorage and cache manifests in mobile for offline usage in mobile for some time and this will compete for that space and make that experiment if it ever happens even more interesting. :-) [1] http://dev-test.nemikor.com/web-storage/support-test/ On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 7:31 AM, Mark A.
