(a) downloading a first stream including a platform-dependent caching and loading mechanism and executing said first stream to create a cache different from said browser cache; and
(b) downloading and caching, into said stream-created cache using said platform-dependent caching and loading mechanism downloaded by step (b), at least one further stream including at least one platform-independent functional module,
