 Hi, it seems pretty straightforward, the only concern may be that we use
 query strings to refresh some files and that might be problematic with
 some net caches. Usually the user can refresh (Shift + reload) to get the
 latest versions. Does the HTML5 local storage add "cache busting" headers
 when refreshing resources or is there another method/settings we should
 use?

 > Extra-ideally, it would somehow be magically combined with the existing
 Google Gears functionality. If there were some certain way to determine
 what type of "manifest" was being requested by a browser (Gears vs.
 HTML5), then this would be rather simple to do, actually.

 Gears sends a custom header "X-Gears..." when capturing resources,
 unfortunately it doesn't seem to send it when getting the manifest. So it
 seems we will need a separate manifest for HTML5. Also will have to avoid
 running both Gears and HTML5 caching, looks like this can be done from js.
