applicationCache.status (expand `applicationCache` in the Console to find out
more).

I think an "online / offline" indicator with just Green / Red would work great
here. But seeing as it is a "status bar" showing the status here seems smart,
and I think it would be useful.  One thing I've noticed in my implementation is
that the status changes very quickly in the common case (Checking -> Idle). But
I also haven't tested this with a "fresh" application requiring a lot of
downloading which would be best to show the (Updating -> Downloading -> Update
Ready) statuses. I should really get around to setting up a full test
environment for this, which might be useful for manual tests.

Ahh yes, you're absolutely right. I have to learn more about how WebKit's
ApplicationCacheResource::Type is used. I don't know yet what happens if
resource is in CACHE and is fetched from a FALLBACK source, but I intend to
handle that. ApplicationCacheResource::Types are Master, Manifest, Explicit,
Foreign, and Fallback. Are things similar in Chromium?

Did you send an email to the whatwg mailing list? Things won't improve unless
you mention it! =)

That sounds good. This would be a better place to put bulk of information,
instead of the status bar. Also, the date the files were cached is great
information. I hope we have that in WebKit.

Do you know offhand the differences in WebKit and Chromium's implementations.
Like what information you have available that I might not know about?
