HTML5 includes mechanisms for offline applications and offline data. The application cache is implemented in the Firefox 3 Release Candidate and the Safari 4 Developer Preview: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#offline Database storage is in Safari 3.1 and newer: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#sql Google Gears also has features similar to both of these and I believe those features are planned to converge with the standard.
