Your argument is based principly on the premise that every page on
the web is either a text chat interface or owned by facebook. There
are a fair number of pages where the information is pretty static if
not totally so.
You say after a page update the information would no longer be valid.
Surely, it wouldn't take much to implement a sort of update ping or
message which would be triggered each time the page was updated.
Um mat if the information is not going to be correct after a page updates
then what is the point of having the information. Not only that but your
contention that a page setels down after a few secons is not correct.
Consider a chat web page that is being updated every few secons as a user
posts information to it. consider facebook or twitter that is being updated
every few secons as information comes in to it. not only that but the
summery feature is intended to let you know what keys are available on a
page. You know that no matter what you can review buy line so having this
information seems to me to be pointless. Exactly what advantage do you see
in having this information considering the fact it will be quickly wrong?

It was a useful feature for a variety of reasons. The algorithm Doug
refers to would be unnecessary to the feature in the new version 9
because I for one wasn't asking for live update of the number of
lines. the user would be aware that a dynamic page is not static and
page content along with the number of lines may change. That said,
most dynamic pages I can think of tend to settle after a few seconds
of being loaded into the browser.
