By adding certain meta tags - http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html - we can allow the site to be homescreen'ed on iOS devices and appear as an independent app (e.g. shows up in app picker, hides mobile safari address bar and bottom navigation bar).

We can detect when this is the case using http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1950-Detecting-iPhone-s-App-Mode-Full-Screen-Mode-For-Web-Applications.htm and then prevent links from opening in mobile safari using http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2302-Preventing-Links-In-Standalone-iPhone-Applications-From-Opening-In-Mobile-Safari.htm.

But the remaining issue is that the 'back' button is kind of useful in localwiki, so we may want to do something about that.
