I'm not sure I understand the query parameter use case. If you have a web  
page "foo.cgi?page=x" wouldn't that page also be simply the offline page?  
What exactly is the scenario in some more detail?

(Note that with history.pushState() you can set the URI of the current  
page so the fragment identifier bookmarking argument is "no longer" very  
relevant.)
