Saving a webpage
Sometimes when I have brought something over the internet I like to print it to PDF so that I have a copy to use later. I would save the html but that means that it creates a html file with a separate directory with all the images in.
I propose a new zhtml file that is a zip file containing the html and the directory of the required images and stylesheets to create that file. Then you would not need to save as a PDF and also all the links on the page would work as well. If browsers could be made to handle these compressed files then I think that it would work quite nicely. This is similar to the Open Document Format (ODF) which is basically a zip file of all the relevant info.
The other way I suppose is to inline all the images and stylesheets in some way so that you get a huge html file but it feels like a bit of a kludge.
It has probably been done already but if anybody asks I thought of it first!
