I tend to the view that forgiveness is a human construct and is
therefore for humans, not machines, or if you wish, the dialectic
opposite of SunirShah's parting comment.  I prefer humans to
discriminate based on the full set of available data, not a partial
set formed by an arbitrary and unexaminable (due to be unrecorded)
editing of the data set.  The problem then is data mining and
establishing and maintaining ValuedInterpretations -- the things
humans are actually good at.

And yes, I'd be a fan of WayBackMode (added to list of things to
implement here along with per user PageTagging).
