I was going to ask if this could be a Wikipedia app for Firefox in general,
since most of Mozilla's WebAPIs are available on Firefox for Android and
desktop Firefox[1]. But the current version already is!,
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/wikipedia installs on desktop Firefox.
Since all the second-tier phone OS are saying "write HTML apps for us",
with some app manifest munging might the Firefox app work on them too? At
what point does a Web app become a modern HTML5 web site, or is it vice
versa? :)
