How would you handle the case of a web site offering a video editing service? Would you require that all the footage be uploaded (and redownloaded every time the browser deletes the cache due to its massive size)? Why not just let the user upload the final product? That seems rather wasteful, and even though video editing is a slightly extreme example, there are plenty of other cases that can generate a lot of data that is only of local use. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
