} I think in this situation we need to hold some ground against the trend
} towards making more and more objects uncachable. People who serve up
} content have quite a few ways of marking pages to prevent caching. If
} they are giving out dynamic pages based on cookies, or whatever, they
} should set Cache-Control headers or at least Expires.

Agreed!

How about also making a FAQ for information content providers on how to
make their pages cache friendly and how to mark uncachable pages. Then
we'd have a good reference to refer people to when there are complaints
about caching behaviour.
