If you're reading it from a file using the [file] or [include] tag,
that's a non-issue.

If you're looking at reading it in client-side via Ajax trickery, that's
another matter, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean.

It walks the site like an actual browser would, so it's seeing the
rendered content.  As long as your solution is a purely server-side
operation, without needing intelligence beyond standard HTTP on the
client side, you're fine.

Thanks.
