If I'm understanding this correctly, I don't think that's a desireable
feature.  The point is, I already have a document I'm looking at, and I
may want to see the source to see why it looks the way it looks.  If the
page is dynamically created, the source I get back may not correspond to
what I was looking at before, and it defeats my purpose.  I don't want
the page to be reloaded under any circumstances just because I choose to
view it in a different way any more than I want it to be reloaded just
because I hit the space bar to go to the next page.  Or am I
misunderstanding you?
