The browser can tell immediately when a network connection, shared proxy connection, etc. become available, avoiding unnecessary delays. For example, when a bus exits a tunnel and the connection is restored, or a mobile device switching from 3G to wifi, or a desktop system being assigned a new IP by a DHCP server; in all of these cases, the browser should reestablish the connection immediately, as soon as the connection becomes available again. Users can't do this in scripts, and these are system and platform-specific details that users shouldn't have to care about. -- Glenn Maynard
