Great idea, but why reinventing the wheel concerning the format and not
using the open and inter-operable ZIM format pushed by the movement:
* http://www.openzim.org

We already have a few open-source readers and contents:
* http://www.kiwix.org
* http://cip.github.com/WikiOnBoard

The way you want to do it can not really work for the reasons other
people have alreday explained. There are Wikimedians whove have been
involved with such topics since years ; why not talking with them before
starting your project? We have a dedicated mailing list, you are welcome
on it:
