The project itself doesn't require the net at all.

As far as project loading and the net, Bob or Andreas could answer this 
better.

I asked recently about whether it would be possible to use the .pr files 
without net access. Andreas said it would be; if your system isn't working 
right, it might be useful to find out why.

Andreas answered:

Yes, absolutely. That's the entire point of the exercise. The data included
in a project published to your local disk is complete to prevent that sort
of problem that you have when trying to send around HTML files.

The URLs describe resources needed by the project. When the project comes up
it attempts to load these resources from the given URLs. When the project
loader sees that the project file is a "fat" project file (e.g., PKZip
variant) it preloads all the resources from that project file directly and
doesn't even attempt to go out on the net to find the resources.
