I suppose in today's web ecosystem, the initial HTML state of the page is useless in almost all cases after the DOM loads. Rarely will you care about the pre-javascript page, and if you do, you're probably debugging a web site, and the extra load shouldn't matter. Where it could get interesting though, is if the content changes before you view the source. In that case, you're out of luck I guess.
