Maybe they are talking about using the HTML AppCache/manifest and a script or something that downloads all of the resources in the manifest and background-preloads them in the Google/Facebook/Twitter etc. page/app. Maybe you don't need a script, just a frame. Maybe a special 'article.html' resource or something that is not allowed to have ads/popups/JS etc.

As long as they don't limit that to certain favored organizations.

Yeah, I'm not sure I trust Google so much anymore and I trust Facebook even less. It'd have to be a W3 group somehow with all the players involved. Definitely some of them would play spoiler like Microsoft did back in the day. Apple would probably play spoiler with this, they like their App Store it makes them money.
