 Replying to [comment:20 Eben]:
 > This seems that it actually ties in closely with the offline viewing
 issues brought up in #3741.  We'll want some way to indicate that rich
 media such as video, audio, and perhaps flash content wasn't stored
 locally with the rest of the page.  These may not be identical, but they
 should probably look quite similar.

 Hmm, I wonder if when serializing a page to disk we are also saving all
 non-streaming media?

 We could do something similar to this for other kinds of media, but I
 don't see how we can differentiate a flash object that is wholly stored on
 disk from one that depends on resources in the network.

 For video and audio formats, I hope we can differentiate easily between
 streaming or non-streaming.

 > I'll work on some mockups for this in the near future.  Is there any
 useful info that we should convey on this screen other than a play button?
 Should we offer the source of the file on rollover, to determine if it's
 an ad or something interesting, etc?

 That's a good idea, but probably after FRS. We also want to show some info
 on rollover in plain links, images, etc, right?
