Google’s Web Application Cache Pattern

The google code guys just released an article detailing how they implemented local browser caching for their mobile gmail client.

The cache pattern is a design pattern for building an offline-capable web application. We implemented the cache pattern to make Gmail for Mobile tolerant of flaky wireless connections but the approach is generally applicable.

The really interesting part of this article is reading through the part about the write through cache implementation. Has anyone found any other articles that provide more detail on this? Maybe something a little more concrete??

Update: Here is their video presentation on it. It goes into significantly more detail.
