While it might be reasonable to expect a web page to behave the way you describe, for anything more in web application territory the expectation that everything you ever loaded will stay visible somehow and available without cooperation of the code implementing the website is ridiculous.
Browser in a VM and a smart enough caching proxy should do.
Especially the narrow case of scrolling up and down the page. That could be scrolling down and disable the erasing of the data, then freezing scripting when it's all in the scroll buffer.
