Although I think this document is quite informative, I again would like to 
raise objections about lumping app cache and widgets together for the same 
reasons I raised last time. However, I don't want to have that argument again: 
I just want to say I think it's disingenuous (perhaps make it more clear at the 
top of the document that the document represents mostly your personal 
opinion?). I'm also concerned that the text that I contributed to the document 
about the variety of applicability of the technologies has been removed.  

I'm also concerned at use of the terms "limited" and "very limited" to label 
"current implementations" as being both subjective and relativistic - and it 
implies that attempts to implement have ceased; particularly next to "well 
deployed", "Largely deployed", "Growing", and "Getting deployed". Either remove 
that column, or present some data to which you can underpin each of the labels.
