Just to list two facts:
1. At least Firefox does a *RE*load of the URL when you save the page:

2. There's no guarantee that the saved version is *identical* to the
actual server-provided one (though I admit that so far, I've seen only
*HTML* getting majorily reformatted).

All the more reason to get the browser's rendering engine (?) out of the
data flow *before* there's funky text/plain browser-X-only
prettyprinting ...
