I guess that depends on the cost / availability of a query. HTTP servers
will tell the client how long (if at all) they may cache content for,
and there are mechanisms to query if something has been modified since a
particular data/time.

This partly transfers to symbols, if we have a HTTP backend.

Must go now... fire drill, and ought to log out before I leave the PC.
