I really like where this API is going, and it made me think. I have build a visual page editor for my CMS, but I had to write my own crappy implementation of a mutation history. this gives me undo&redo capabilities.

Do you recon I could leverage this API to replace my version of a mutation history?

You probably could in theory (keeping in mind that users might traverse across multiple history entries at a time in either direction and between different same-doc "islands"), but I think the question to ask is more about whether it would make sense from a UX POV: would your users expect browser navigation to map to positions in an "undo"/"redo" stack? (This seems unlikely to me, but I don't have the context to say for sure.)

[chris-kruining]

well, the browser nav would not be used, I was thinking of utilizing an invisible iframe

I think creating invisible iframes so that you can use their history as something not representing navigation history, but instead some other type of list of states, is not a great idea...
