Is it actually possible to observe, interact or in any way script a
document that has been navigated-away-from? If so, could you show an
example of how to do it? When I tried, I found that the document and
window references I had in hand live-updated to the current document,
and thus, I could no longer access the document that was placed into
the page cache.
