Well, okay, hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes. :)
Perhaps we could have a selected list of properties to save
client-side, much like the selected list of properties whose presence
or absence we save. That way, we wouldn't suffer if someone decided
to set some huge property way up in the hierarchy. The offline access
wouldn't work for everything automatically, but it'd be easy to add it
when we discover someone cares about something. Or maybe a config
file entry listing parent properties to cache locally?
(I have zero clue how things are done client-side, which is why I'm
being so vague.)
