Ian also said (and I agree with him) that experimental implementation is needed. In fact if he added it to HTML5 already I'd be very surprised. For example, the notifications were removed from HTML5 because it was not clear to the point of writing the spec that they are even needed (as Ian said also). A lot of HTML5 is there because there were Gears with real-life experience. It's hard to see if any web mechanism will prove it viability purely theoretically. So all we are trying to do is take the feedback from app developers, produce a proposal, discuss it in the community to refine it, produce implementation and see how it goes so it can be included into HTML x at some point. It might not stand the test of time and not be standardized at the end, or it might influence some other idea - who knows? Nobody is 'pushing ahead' :-) Dmitry
