According to RFC 2616, section 14.9.3 the max-age directive in 
the Cache-Control header overrules the Expires header. So I would 
argue that using the Cache-Control header is in fact preferred.

Sending invalid headers is most definitely not preferred. See RFC 
2616, section 14.21 for the allowed values of the Expired header.

Why refer to outdated browser documentation when the standard is 
readily available? (MS may say the information in KB article 
234067 was reviewed in July, but if they did somebody failed to 
notice that that KB article is based on a 5 year old draft of the 
HTTP RFC instead of the final version.)
