It’s not a simple thing to just merge the code bases. It’s going to cause a bunch of work in Release which we’re just not signed up for. In our planning for 2016, I will add this to what we’d like to do — but no promises as there are lots of high priority things we need to get done. Doug

Intent to implement seems premature. Why wouldn't we wait to see how this goes and let Google do that. I really dislike the idea of rushing into this API. A programatic API that does something like AppCache is a good idea -- only in that it is better than the declarative shit AppCache is.
