This is an idea I have had floating around in my head for a while and
a recent couple of threads reminded me I really need to post it here.
Basic idea:
The idea is basically an element like <iframe> but that renders the
linked page
Something similar has been proposed recently:

Yes, that was the post that originally reminded me I should send in my
proposal.
IMHO such includes don't solve the biggest problem of frames - that
there's only a single usable URL and all actual content is in orphaned
scraps of documents.
This problem isn't specific to frames. It also happens with pages that
uses script. Especially pages that make heavy use of AJAX.
However this isn't always a problem. For example when you are referring
to a page that contains ads, you don't generally care to specify which
ad is shown in the <iframe>s of that page.
Same thing with my google suggest example, there you don't really care
about showing the results of a particular search. In fact, doing so
would look very wrong since that would create a missmatch between the
search results and the empty input box.
I suggest investigating further concept of "ID overlays" instead:

I don't really see how those overlays could be used to create the two
examples I brought up in my original posting.
