Sorry, nothing personal. You just rant a lot about it in public.

You'll completely remove support for a working Web Platform spec from your browser, rendering currently working offline apps broken?! It's not a `<blink>` element exactly. People rely on this to cache their app assets today.

Would be great if you could link us a resource covering that! Much appreciated.

... where it currently supports offline Web apps on FF OS, Android, Windows, OS X and Linux. Great idea!

Other than this, I think @benfrancis summed up the list of unanswered questions about it quite well.
