It seems like there’s room for exploration here - Perhaps my test case was not testing what you’re actually suggesting. Does Mozilla have a test for this that I could explore in WebKit? Are you saying that if a live page sends an event to a node whose Document is in the page cache that the event is handled referring to a dormant document and all of its dormant resources? If so, I can say that the design goals for your page cache and ours are radically different. ~Brady
