It does sound worth investigating.

I'm not writing a web application.

I'm writing an application that happens to be implemented in HTML and
JavaScript, and use a browser as the run time. If iPad had a suitable
Java runtime, and a less inconvenient development process, it would have
been a Java application. Because of the choice of languages, one way of
deploying it is to use HTTP to get the files from some server. For other
combinations of situation and device, it may be better to download the
application to the client file system.
