I've been experimenting with this a bit on my pubs page, and have run into some quirks. Biggest is that since the exhibit itself is not in script tags, any bits of it that a non-scripting browser understands get rendered---in particular, I get some funny fragments of some of my templates. Not a big problem for search engine spiders, but a mild nuisance. The recently posted "hyde-me" script does not have this problem. Also, would be nice if the copy buttons didn't show up in the copied html, since they are obviously useless there. Finally, it would be nice to separate the header material from the content in the copy since the copier probably wants only the latter.
