</div>This is precisely my preferred interaction model as well. Absolutely<br>
silent use of a relatively small amount of resources, just like<br>
cookies are done today, but with a me-initiated ability to authorize<br>
it to act like a full app with unlimited resources (or at least much<br>
larger resources).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In addition to more storage, another difference that ideally would come along with the "full-app-privilege" is for the user agent to avoid evicting that data. So stronger promises about keeping that data around relative to unprivileged app data.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, this is being discussed in terms of "apps". Can more than one "app" be hosted on the same site? And if so, how can their be stored resources be distinquished?</div><div><br></div>
