Description
Currently AEWeb will always fetch the latest transaction of the chain in order to display the latest version of the website.
I would like to alter this behaviour:
1. If URL is on a genesis address: fetch latest transaction and then display the website described in the transaction
2. If URL is not a genesis address: display the website described in the transaction
I think it's really good for transparency. And it allows people playing with the explorer to actually see what there is behind a transaction.

Research direction
Start by locating the AEWeb code that fetches the latest transaction and renders the website. Trace how genesis and non-genesis addresses are identified, then verify the behavior against transactions in the explorer. Done means a genesis URL still resolves to the latest transaction, while another transaction URL displays the website described by that transaction.
