well, on the other hand a dynamic web page load is *guaranteed* to break 
at a certain point in time due to layout changes outside our control. 
*Our* users will then believe that we've messed it up. What about only 
downloading the images (less likely to change and even if so, everything 
else remains usable) and keeping a static skeleton? All of the 
interesting matrices will be included.

If you keep a static list instead of loading and manipulating a webpage, 
even this 'download and run' feature is much easier than updating a 
webpage dynamically. The more I think about it, the more I like to see a 
static mirror. This can be created automatically without much effort.
