I haven't been paying much attn to this thread, but a thought occured... Each browser keeps its archives in different formats. Drives me nutz! So I started printing web pages as PDF files. It's not dynamic, but at least you get the info saved in a format that's usable "forever".
At least until unipage takes over. http://unipage.org/ Site is currently slashdotted, but from the blurb on slashdot.org:
A reader writes: "Unipage recently released a beta version of its Unipage Unifier. The Unipage encoding is a way to encode a full page with its images, CSS, Javascript, Flash, and whatnot, into just one HTML file. The 'Unipage Unifier' program instantly turns any online or local page into a 'Unipage' that can be viewed directly in a browser. It saves the mess of files when you normally save a complete web page, but maybe the bigger scoop is that now people can use 'Unipages' to send content rich documents instead of PDF. But Unipages are superior to PDF in their ability to hold functionality (Javascript), Flash animations and practically anything normally possible in a web page. Together with any program that can export into HTML you can get fully styled, dynamic, portable documents instantly. And it's free." Good luck taking down the installed base of PDF.
Just remember, no format is forever. There are still many clay tablets that we can not read.
