Hello Alf,

At the moment when you save a web page, the embedded images, CSS

There's also the possibility of using special tools to save
everything that's linked from the original page up to a certain depth
(and limited to the same domain, for example). I was thinking it
might be useful to have a microformat (a rel attribute) that would
explicitly say "save this linked file along with the HTML page".
One use in particular is for supplementary data in scientific papers
- the links from a saved paper to the supplementary data online would
obviously still work, but it might be nice to be able to
automatically save everything together in one place, offline.
Has anything like this been proposed before?
Yes, something for this has already been suggestioned.
It's called rel-enclosure. http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-enclosure
Perfect. Has there been any attempt to get browsers to save the
enclosed files and rewrite links to make them relative when offline yet?
