> I don't use iOS, but Chrome has had "Create Application Shortcut" since I think version 1.

Does "Create Application Shortcut" stuff work offline for compatible web applications, or does it just create a shortcut to a chromeless version (à la Fluid)? I can find no conclusive evidence towards the former by browsing.

the short answer is yes. The slighter longer answer is that the application shortcut is just some extra command-line parameters, and doesn't materially alter the workings of offline stuff like AppCache or LocalStorage.
