i am wondering whats the use of the network section of the HTML5 Cache Manifest?

from offline resource in firefox

The online whitelist may contain zero or more URIs of resources that the web application will need to access off the server rather than the offline cache. This lets the browser's security model protect the user from potential security breaches by limiting access only to approved resources

i wonder why is this required. won't files not listed in the explicit section of the cache manifest not be cached anyway?
