Further discussion on this topic between myself and the original bug submitter:

My idea was to have some means of absolute information about the original 
website URL included in the (.war) archive. This is valuable information 
for future reference, as most web pages do not have any absolute URL coded into 
them. 
 
 
There are two other solutions to this problem: 
 
1) As it it done in M$ IE: 
include an additional line after the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration i.e. line with a 
comment about the original source address.: 
 
<!-- saved from 
url=(0049)http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=2016&page=all --> 
 
 
2) Include a 
 
<LINK rel="START" 
title="Comment by Konqueror: The original WWW address of this page while 
downloaded" 
type="text/html" 
href="www.source.com/somewhwere/somepage.html"> 
 
reference that was not present in the original page. That would suit the 
purpose of an reference for future needs. But we modify the original page 
which might not be acceptable.
