I guess you and Tom are right. The browser cache already provides
everything I need. I think I was hoping I could finally use localStorage
outside of tests and mini-projects, but it's really unnecessary here. Ah
well, the day will come :)
(and we will be using session storage, at least)

About the versioning of cached content, I used that successfully in
other projects. It works great - you can easily invalidate the clients'
caches, and even deactivate caching completely (for testing). The app I
was talking about can't do it yet, but it will.
