The WHATWG is already standardizing content type handling and offline support in its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whatwg.org\/specs\/web-apps\/current-work\/\">HTML5 spec<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en\/docs\/Firefox_3_for_developers\">offline support<\/a> is already available in Prism and development versions of Firefox 3!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d love to hear more ideas for improving Prism and desktop-web integration, so keep the feedback coming! <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.mozilla.com\/forum\/index.php\/board,16.0.html\">Tell us which web apps<\/a> you&#8217;ve been using in Prism and how it changes the way you use those apps.  <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mozilla+Labs&amp;component=Prism\">Report problems<\/a> you&#8217;ve encountered or features you&#8217;d like to see in future versions.
