[webkit-dev] Feature Request: Dynamic Application Cache

[Ryosuke Niwa]

WebKit is a browser engine. Each vendor (e.g. Apple & Google) decides which
feature to ship in their browser. Even if you added a feature to WebKit,
there is no guarantee that browsers that use WebKit will ship with the
feature.

Also, we tend not to accept a new Web-exposed feature unless it has been
discussed and a rough consensus has been reached on standards mailing lists
(e.g. W3C, whatwg).
