You are absolutely correct!! But, we know how to configure the proxies we run 
to correctly honour the locale, but we simply do not trust every proxy between 
the client and our proxy to be configured correctly (there might be offices 
that use a proxy to reduce traffic and do not configure the cached pages t be 
dependent on locale)

I thought the locale action causes the appropriate Vary: response header to be 
sent so that cacheing proxies will handle it correctly?  Or is that only if you 
configure it to store the locale in a cookie, not just in the session?
