One possible approach to link rot: each web page embeds within it (or in associated resources) a copy of every page linked to. Then when a link is clicked on it's always possible to show the page as intended.

The biggest issue with this approach would probably be legal, as you'd find yourself redistributing copyright works. Could a fair use argument be made since it would be furthering public discourse?
