My first thought was to reduce redundancy. If the same phrase, tag set, etc appeared numerous times in the set of pages the fellow wants to store, this could add them to the DB if and only if they weren't already there. Otherwise, it would simply record the index, on the (most likely true) assumption that a series of indices takes up less storage than a series of text/HTML lines. However, I've no idea if this was what
Mocker had in mind.
