If this flaw is by design, that design should be recasted.

Totally agree. But I think webshell makes that call... Nisheeth is that you or
is it scc?

The implementation of view-source is a self-acknowledged hack by its author,
rickg.   Rick, do we have plans on re-designing the view-source implementation
any time soon.  I'm assigning this to you and putting myself on the cc list.

When I started view-source, it was a hack, but the parsing engine support for it
is totally legit now. The only thing hacky is where we get the document. Yes,
it's a document reload, because it needs to be a view of the doc before all
runtime affects occur.

My question is this: once the cache is hooked up, why do we care that it's a
reload?

Fair enough.  I'm taking back the bug, marking it as depending on Necko and
the cache and setting a target milestone of M11.

Rick, I'm keeping you on the cc list in case you have comments as we proceed
with hooking up the cache.
