I agree on the need for a better UI to manage cached resources and selectively clear parts of the cache. The current web model of per-origin grouping isn't very satisfying because some apps span multiple origins and some origins host multiple apps. Given the extensive discussions around this for the past few years I'm not optimistic a better answer is forthcoming. In the end, perhaps it doesn't matter. If the browser is smart about managing its caches, the right thing should just happen without the user doing anything special. If I use offline gmail a bunch, and have for a long time, the browser should never throw away its appcache, databases, cookies, files, etc. If I went to some random site once which availed itself of an appcache and database on my machine the browser should throw those away first if I suffer space pressure.
