Agreed, and that is partly why I think it needs to be done on the author/developer side of things. An automated solution (e.g. user-agent detecting changes) would be too blunt, it needs to take account of the context.

A straw-man SC could be: If the page is updated away from the “Point of regard” [1], and the change is important to their task, the user must be notified.

The middle part of that (about task) isn’t workable, but that’s what I’m trying to get at.
