Yup, that is quite annoying but not the problem here. In fact I'm hoping to get around that problem by having the main page always be static, and generate the links to subpages itself with javascript. So you go to the site, and get the main page with all the links. Meanwhile, the new manifest is noticed and the old cache invalidated. When you go to a subpage, everything is fresh by then, no reloads required. Anyway, the problem here is that in this case, when taken offline, the links don't go anywhere.
