Hello It seems, the "application-cache" spec does not clearly tell about the difference between HTTP caching and "application-cache": What if i have html page with http max-age header set to 1 year or with expires header? (i searched with google, on stackoverflow, i cannot find any clear answer, most of pages about "appcache" just says, that it was design for offline and it is a good thing...) http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/browsers.html#introduction-4 Introduction tells nothing about HTTP Expires headers of "clock.html", but if Expires was used, the user will not see much difference between appcache and expires before expiration date and while page is not updated on the server, seems. So, i think, some info on this may help. Thank you!
Doesn't affect UA behavior and no indications that it's generally important to make any change here. Feel free to re-open if somebody plans to actually take any action on this.
