Can't this be solved by a library? It seems like you could easily build a facade in front of requests that queried local storage...you would just need to figure out whether the device/server is online or not.

It's not just XHRs, it's all requests by your app. The HTML, the CSS, images, everything. The entire site can be served offline by this API.

You need to be able to bootstrap the page to start with. If I request news.ycombinator.com and I'm offline, then Service Workers are the only way to avoid an error page.

For web apps running in normal browsers, Service Workers ARE that facade.
