Actually, that's usually the first thing you are told to do when your
browser doesn't work quite right with a site and there aren't many de-
tails to go on; often the web sites will tell you to clear the cache,
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32050 for
instance even has videos on how to do it. Users might not do this ha-
bitually, but a man-in-the-middle would seem to have plenty of ways
to try and persuade users to do it (he could book an ad suggesting to
do this to users within the geographical region, for instance).
