Right now, when paging through the images on a page via prev/next, every step creates a new history entry. When the user tries to navigate back to the previous page, they have to step through all the images in reverse before being able to leave the page. This is very annoying behavior when someone is browsing between articles.
HTML5 provides a limited ability to manipulate the history (specifically one cannot delete history entries, only replace them), and fallbacks for old browsers provide even less, so it is not clear what would be a good alternative that is possible to implement.
