This has the advantage that it still allows caching while the document
version is the same, which is good for performance, but it has the
disadvantage that it needs template changes, which is problematic for
upgrades. The best way to prevent problems is to attach the modified
template to the skin document (XWiki.DefaultSkin by default).
Another option is to configure this in the front-end (Apache HTTPD
settings, if you use such a front-end).
