Yes. Suppose Bugzilla had offline support. The Bugzilla UI has a bunch of
links it with with different query parameters (e.g., bug numbers). Bugzilla
running offline could take those parameters and use them to look up a local
database and populate the DOM.

Maybe if we force offline apps to all be single-page then this isn't an
issue but I don't think that's a good idea.
