im not 100% sure how this all fits together, but you should be able to recreate a page, so long as the content was exactly the same, and therefor produced the same hash.

So you could set it up to automatically recreate the page when your machine comes back online.

is that what you meant?

Not quite but I assumed similarly. I'm wondering if it'll connect to the peers automatically after coming back online if just left in the browser. If it did then it'd be possible to keep a page unpublished except when asked for through another channel. It's definitely a really interesting idea to play with. It makes me wonder if it could be used to create a nicer interface for things like Freenet by doing more clientside these days.
