[whatwg] Web Documents off the Web (was Web Archives)

The method for reading Web pages off line is subscription, not downloading.
Your browser should support subscription.  Enable it for your favorite pages
and you are done.

Hi Tyler,

I like the idea very much, for instance for having a copy of the CSS
spec on my laptop without the need of an Internet connection while
commuting....

- When I save a page with Safari, Firefox cannot read it.

- When saving stuff with Firefox, I have to deal with both, the HTML
file and the resource folder

- It would be easy to write a nice wget-like utility that creates a
single file.

- A zip based format is still usable for browsers that do not support
it, one would just needs to unpack the file.

Best regards,
Stefan Haustein
