	As posed, this is a document object
	model question, not an HTML one.  Unfortunately the W3C
	DOM isn't that much like the Netscape one,
	and, the last time I looked, you needed at least the IE4
	DOM to reconstruct the page source.

	By directly accessing the real internal data structures,
	not a DOM abstraction of them.  If this functionality is
	available, and assuming Win32, rather than Unix, it will
	be exposed by an OLE, not an HTML, object model.
