Adam Bosworth (Google, formerly Microsoft) has been talking about it
for years, and he even had a prototype at BEA:

It's very likely that this work is what got him recruited by Google
who have since gone on to hire a key Firefox developer, Ben Goodger.
Make of that what you will.

The WhatWG (a group of browser vendors working together outside of the
W3C) are working on a spec for offline web apps as a standard browser
feature:

The arising storage issues are also being addressed:

Hope the above prove useful.
