Note that the main use case for appcache is applications, which tend to be behind authentication walls and robots.txt blocks. For example, I would doubt that a grep is going to catch Google Docs' use of appcache. (Not that they want appcache to remain as is, but that's a separate issue.) appcache is, in this respect, similar to <keygen> (which is almost not used at all on the public web, but is used on intranets and behind paywalls and authentication walls). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
