Yeah, but this is a right pain for the tools, and really not feasible for tools working on large sites (where we can expect, due to the quirks of how society works, to have implementation of monitoring systems). Carlos can comment better on the details, but although TAW saves some content it doesn't save enough to be able to work offline, and going part way there isn't so useful - you need to be able to work on the entire page including embedded objects like images, and you need to know if it has changed online too. Solving that problem is close enough to solving the persistence problem (to the extent we can) that I suspect it is better ust to work on the premise that we don't necessarily keep an offline version. (There is nothing to stop that of course. Thinking about it, having an offline version to show something might be an interesting approach to providing some evidence to back up a claim that was made at a particular time, too. Although I would be surprised to see it become common practice) mvh cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Fundacion Sidar charles@sidar.org +61 409 134 136 http://www.sidar.org
