(Get the code!)
Actually it's not enough. Complete save must save page as it is visible with all elements inserted by ajax (like comments) and if some elements are missing then they should remain missing (like advertisements with active adblock). Even all additional user CSS applied to the elements on the page must be preserved as-is.
Otherwise it is not complete.
I mean it have to crawl DOM and generate page from it instead of saving page's source with rewritten links.
I do agree there is no reason for fast performance but when you open such page it must resemble page which you have saved as much as possible. It could not be considered as complete if it will download anything from the web on open. Also I don't think preserving interactivity is expected behavior in this case. Users usually saves page to be able to read it later or send someone to read. So, it must be preserved as he seen it when decided to save it.
For investigation purposes there is separate applications like extension "DownThemAll!". You can configure how exactly it will save things and how deep will it go. It does even more then Emin requests. It not only makes local copy of the page - it could make local copy of the whole site or decent part of it.
