Does the text in the section "Supporting offline caching for legacy applications" answer this request?
Comment 2 Jeffrey Yasskin 2013-06-18 21:06:21 UTC 
That section is non-normative, so it can't specify what the cache modes mean, only explain a specification that's present elsewhere.

The paragraph starting with "This causes the application cache to only be used for master entries when the user is offline..." does explain what the prefer-online state is intended to do.

Ok, I'm going to assume that means you're satisfied. If you're not, please reopen. Thanks!
