This ChangeLog doesn't really give any information about what an OfflineStorageProcess is...

What is an OfflineStorageProcess?  Generally, we ask that contributors explain the "why" behind their changes in the ChangeLog.

I thought it was pretty self evident, but I can certainly go into more detail.  The idea is to have a process for offline storage activities, such as Databases and Local Storage.  We don't want to do this in our UI Process, because we can tightly sandbox these filesystem touching activities if they are in their own little world.

Ah, I think I was trying to read too much into the "offline" part of the name.  Thanks for the description.
