Wondering if anyone has successfully made use of the iUI buffer (DOM additions through navigation) in forward navigation?

Basically, iUI is tuned for top-down navigation.  Our application is more traditional in its navigation.  For instance, we have a page listing time entries for a day.  The user may start at April 17th, navigate back a day and then navigate forward again.  For DOM consistency reasons, it'd be nice when navigating back to the 17th to make use of the page already pushed into the DOM.  This would help retain uniqueness in DOM ID's for other JavaScript functions.  It'd also be good for performance, natch.

Certainly there are ways around this ID-uniqueness problem, and I've been experimenting with a few of them, even thinking about just forcing page reloads "target='_self'" for the time being.  At this point the headaches of these workarounds are leading me to investigating making smart use of the already-loaded-pages in the DOM.  I'll be looking closer at iUI to see what options I can come up with in the meanwhile...
