Imagine a "data DOM" model in firefox. An object kind of like the
current exhibit db, but native to firefox, with an API that lets you
modify the "current" page's data in real time. Just like modifications
to the DOM, modifications to this data object would automatically
trigger updates to the displayed page. Conceivable for firefox 4?
