2. Bundles. Sometimes we need to load several resources (js/css/json/...) before we can actually show something to user. Like a dialog, or another complex control. Or if it's a single page application before change "page". Again, it's often faster to make one request than several, but it would be even faster if we could then cache them separately: HttpCache.store(url1, content1); HttpCache.store(url2, content2); ... So that later we can use the files as usual (<script>, <link>...).
Most of what you list can be handled by NavCon, but I was wondering about this specific case.
Do you believe that this would be helped by having some form of simple packaging system that's addressable à la JAR? Basically you'd have one Zip archive containing your dependencies, and load them with <script src='/wrapped-content.zip!/foo.js'> and friends.
There are a few slightly tricky bits to handle, but nothing insurmountable. This sort of stuff has been a small blip on the radar for essentially ever but if there's enough implementer interest it could be brought alive.
