Q.2.5 gives the restriction "This version of WWWOFFLE is never used
in online mode so there is never any way that the students can browse
while online."

But if both instances are "online", wouldn't you run into problems
if both instances have write access on the same spool? What happens
if teacher and students access the same URL - not too far away
in a classroom?
