IDEA
Ok so here's my idea based on the existing ideas, the comments on
those
ideas, and so forth. One of my main goals was keeping everything as
simple
as possible.
My proposal is that we add a new attribute to the <html> element,
which
flags that the page is a Web app that wants to be pinned for offline
execution and that when you next fetch the file or one of its
subresources
while online, it should try to update all the subresources atomically.
<html application>
This could either trigger the different behaviour automatically, or
only
when requested by the user, or we could say this applies to any
page, but
that the user must enable it, or we could provide an API which
triggers
this for the page. I kind of like the explicit attribute, though.

Comments?
I haven't read over the details but there seems to be an obvious
showstopper problem: this won't work for web applications that consist
of more than one page.

Maciej
