Here are my reasons:
0) I thought that there was a consensus on this list that having fproxy
dynamically modify html was a Very Bad Thing (tm) for several reasons.
e.g. it pisses of content authors, there are unforseen security/anonimity 
implications.
1) Writing a real-time HTML parser that could handle such transformations
in a robust, secure way is hard. Knowing that your implementation is correct
is even harder... 

The approach taken by the patch is really simple ( = robust and debuggable) 
even if  it is not as elegant.  

Should I check it in?
