Why not cache the page in the cache. Writing and reading cache entries is not that hard - see PhotoMapUtils.js in photomap.mozdev.org.
Of course if the user clears the cache, your data goes away too, but that's probably not a big deal. Just make sure you pick a smart name for your cache entry - e.g. cnn.com, probably not a good choice...
