But, is it a waste of effort to bring a truly integrated, seamless Wikipedia experience to our users' mobile devices? I don't think so. Nor is it a waste of effort for the WMF to be seen as a driving force in mobile design and mobile user experience.
I was assuming that integration and being seamless are easily doable from a web browser.
Offline storage is hard in a browser, as you pointed out; that's too much detail for me to understand quickly, and I have no comment yet. In principle, such concern is valid.
Documenting extra differences and shortcomings of web browsers could be a nice task.
