[webkit-dev] Making browsers faster: Resource Packages

[Alexander Limi]

Could you be more specific? Most of the comments seem to be a result of
people not actually reading the spec.

As for the comments in the article itself:

   - You still do parallel downloads, and you can have multiple resource
   packages.
   - The zip can have expiry headers, and can be invalidated using ETags.

If you can pull out the specific questions, I'm happy to answer them.
