Comment(by Eben):
I still think that this is a really important use case, as I suspect that
kids won't have persistent internet access. Allowing them to "download" a
page to read at whim later seems like a really big win with our intention
of making information easily available. Of course, I don't think anyone
here is disputing that.
For now, we could simply hide the bookmarks (eg. not make them global, but
retain the offline viewing portion). Starring a page within a given
session could simply store the associated data within that sessions entry.
Resuming that particular entry/session would then reveal the cached pages,
with a non-modal alert indicating that the page is cached, and optionally
providing a button to refresh it. All of this can be done with no
security implications whatsoever.
In the future we can enhance this by exposing the bookmark as a separate
Journal entry and by allowing them to span sessions.
