You're right, this sort of data should be put into user's cache directory. Regarding the name of bottom directory, I'd prefer 'applications' or perhaps nothing, simply putting cached data into ~/.cache/webkitgtk (if application cache is the only cached data). Repeating the word 'cache' in the path is not helpful.

Just to note, this again shows just how wrong it is that WebKit1 puts appcache into database directory. If there's interest/need, I can open another bug.
