That function isn't part of the standard DOM API, so I'd say there's no
particular requirement to support it directly. Or any particular reason not
to, but on principle I dislike adding nonportable calls unless they're
really required.

DOM Level 3 is expected to add calls to load and save the content of a DOM.
We don't yet know what they will look like, but in the long run they're
going to be the right answer for this question.
