I wouldn't do that, because I don't know Drupal request paths enough. If you 
do, go ahead. Examine the requests with LiveHTTPHeaders or something similar. 
If Drupal does not change its behaviour (what it can, it's not a public API 
AFAIK), you can record the paths to the list of the exceptions. You will get 
all the CSS, pictures, fancy blocks, etc.

IMHO it's a very slippery slope.
