The only times requests come from an appcache are:

 - when navigating, which doesn't apply here, and
 - when the appcache in question is the same appcache as the page's own 
   appcache.

You never get one appcache fetching from another.

XMLHttpRequest is treated the same as any other non-navigating way of 
obtaining a resource from the network or cache.

Does that answer your question?
