--- Comment #35 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2012-06-14 22:49:36 UTC ---
I've added the idea in comment 27 to the WHATWG spec. Since it's a new feature,
I haven't added it to the W3C copy. Here's the relevant diff:

   http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7135&to=7136

For the purposes of the HTML5 disposition of comments, therefore, this counts
as a rejection (boilerplate below). However, I'm happy to add this to the
HTMLWG spec if that's what the HTMLWG chairs want, let me know.

For those of you who don't care about the politics, the spec for the new syntax
can be found here:

  
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/offline.html#writing-cache-manifests

Basically, if you want this new behaviour you just add this to the bottom of
your manifest:

   SETTINGS:
   prefer-online
