There are already some implementations done – offline Google Reader will be available shortly and Dion Almaer has already geared RSS Bling offline. Dion also notes that Dojo Offline has already started using Gears as a platform.

One thing to note would be performance. Firefox is already burdened with many many addons, will this make the browser usable?
