This is an old idea... when it was first proposed by Bush[1], the media to record on was microfilm, not PDF files. It's never been implemented, and forces that believe in "intellectual property" are aligned against doing so.

I'd like to see a local proxy that caches everything for at least a month, then automatically keeps stuff referenced or revisited.
