Is it possible to allow caching for those cases? Firefox caches

well. Opera, Safari and Chrome do not.
Sorry for the somewhat late reply. We'd prefer not to change the
specification here and keep the requirement. We're afraid of
potential hard to detect incompatibility bugs if you sometimes cache
and sometimes don't. We're also not convinced that you cannot get
the performance win by other means.
Since Firefox and IE both cache, how would it create compatibility
bugs for other browsers to do so as well? I think we should remove the
requirement unless Firefox and IE are willing to change their
implementations.
