RE: Ajax Back/Forward History problem - saving document state by document.save()

"providing to a page that can be in many states, enough information that 
it can recreate a previous state"

Mark,
yes it's a good goal, it's definitely better than trying to remember a 
state itself. But my point was basically that: you have to stop on some 
level. You cannot remember and make reproducible each state after tiny 
change. It's better to allow an opposite thing: to warn user how "hit a 
Back or Forward" button that system is going to leave current 
application completely and will not be able to re-enter a current 
"micro-state". To warn a user and give him ability to Cancel - just like 
  Internet Expolrer's onbeforeunload() event works.
