Description Nikunj Mehta 2009-09-29 16:50:35 UTC 
In step 5.6
[[
Let the status of cache group be idle.
]]

But we just marked it as obsolete in 5.1. Appears to be an oversight.

The 'obsolete' flag and the 'status' of the cache group are orthogonal. The 'status' is one of idle, checking, downloading. The 'obsolete' flag is either set or not. See the definitions of those terms earlier in the section:

Comment 2 Nikunj Mehta 2009-09-30 17:00:42 UTC 
Perhaps you can answer this question:

What is the value of window.applicationCache.status if the application cache group's status is set to idle and its obsolete flag is true?

I am not quite sure I understand how the ApplicationCache object relates to the application cache group.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2009-10-18 10:42:46 UTC 
The answer to your question is 5.

Your comment did not make sense to me.

5 is what applicationCache.status returns, i.e. the OBSOLETE state. The update status of the application cache group is irrelevant.
