Thankfully, such snapshots already exist :). See for example [1] whose date (2014-05-21) matches the date of [2] (2014-05-26). A version viewable in-browser is at [3], although eventually we might want to put in a modicum of work to host it on xhr.spec.whatwg.org and display an appropriate warning banner, similar to what Streams does with [4].
