The link currently works for me, but as I am inside the HP firewall my access route may differ.

Transparency will not be achievable in many circumstances - for example, when clicking a link to some static content that has not been cached in the device (due perhaps to storage limitations), or when accessing real- time information. Given that offline browsing is already implemented in many devices, I would be interested to hear what additional requirements you believe are necessary that the DI Working Group might need to consider.
