A couple of comments on the point above.

1. Could it not work for offine GUIs, assuming the server and
client
were on the same machine, in which case one would hope the
latency is
low.  For example X11 works locally without a network connection.

2. Based on your "I wonder if offline is a niche ...." I get the
impression you live in a part of the world that has more reliable
internet access than where I am from :o)
