The problem is that no matter how one tries to add that type of
content, it is guaranteed to screw up someone's code no matter what,
all because of Internet Explorer.

Even were what Google added "perfect", it could never actually be
perfect in use.

Sites that rely on Internet Explorer being in Quirks mode would puke
on strict doctype and vice versa.  Pages that use absolute
positioning, without a containing div to position the absolute
positioned elements relative to, other than the "body" as they are by
default, would break. Were they to try to use an iFrame, pages with
"breakout" scripts would break out of the iFrame and make the cached
viewed pointless.

It is not possible to come up with one solution that works in every
possible case.
