WebKit already includes code to serialize the DOM, in WebCore/editing/ 
markup.cpp. This is used by innerHTML, XMLSerializer, the clipboard  
code, Web archives, and other things. I think a better approach to a  
"save as Web page, complete" style feature would be to use the  
existing DOM serialization code (fixing bugs, if necessary), instead  
of adding completely separate DOM serialization code. The only tricky  
part is fixing up URL references in the markup to point to the right  
place for saved subresources.
