I'll think it about it some more, but your average WebKit site doesn't have 
a library of HTML documents and a bunch of graphics.

Of course, the ultimate version would let you specify caching parameters like:
         - expiration time
         - max number of instances
         - max MB of RAM

But I won't be getting to that anytime soon.
