I'm quite sure that the SRC attribute that this trick builds on (see http://dave.editthispage.com/stories/storyReader$19) was not supported by the first generation javascript-supporting Netscape Browsers.

Actually, I'm not sure if Edit this page for static sites will use dynamic inclusion of elements via Javascript src (which is still dependent on Frontier performance and akin to using cache.root really), or (as I've suggested elsewhere), read the manila cookie using Javascript's cookie-reading capabilities which can be totally Frontier independent.
