Well, the FALLBACK section is intended to access to network too, isn't that right? I mean the resources in it are supposed to be fetched from the network (with the fallback resource). The section name (FALLBACK) doesn't reflect that though, it doesn't particularly reflect the fact that it is going to access the network. So, from this point too, I think it would make sense to combine them? Of course the section name NETWORK doesn't reflect the fact that there might be an offline resource, but I don't think it would be a huge problem? It would be backwards compatible which would be a nice point. Also, other benefits could include that a simpler (shorter) spec could perhaps make its further development/evolution easier. I'm a new developer with HTML5 so these are my experiences from the past few months, and can be off sometimes. But I thought I should share them anyway. Regards, Ilkka
