I'm really curious about how the creators of the Wayback machine are working to save modern (perhaps sometimes somewhat unnecessarily overcomplicated) web pages that are using SPA "techniques". Have they implemented a googlebot-like crawler that interprets javascript and spits out.. some predigested final DOM tree? Or.. do you record all web-page-initiated network traffic and just let it replay, sort of? Lot of interesting research opportunities here, btw.
This is where archival meets browser/web tech, in a kinda complicated way. I would hope that people from both of these backgrounds have been working on this stuff together. If not, please start soon.
