I am the new maintainer of the library and am about to release a beta of the 0.5 version. I am puzzled by one aspect of your revisions, and I'm wondering whether you can explain. The reason RSH 0.4 uses document.write to create its hidden textarea is that this causes the textarea to exist in the DOM when the page is loaded, even when it's loaded from the cache. This means that you can navigate through your RSH-enabled application, then navigate to a different site, and then use your back button to navigate back. When you land back within your own app, all of your history will be preserved. I tried going down a path similar to yours but found that adding the textarea after DOM loaded caused all values saved to that textarea to get hosed when you navigated away and back. Did you find a way around this problem, or were you only testing your solution while staying within your own app? I'd love to get away from document.write if possible, but my 0.5 beta is going to include it for now. Matt, thanks for the great post on RSH.
