 Yes, it follows the HTML 5.0 specification, however this specification is
 designed only for 100% caching (bringing a web app offline) and cannot be
 used to cache only non-dynamic parts of a web page. So it caches the HTML
 first (we don't want that) and then it caches the css, js, images, etc.
 (we want only these).

 For comparison Gears caches all files that are in the manifest and then
 uses that cache for all requests for these files regardless of the web
 page that loads them (from the same domain of course).
