Cool!

HTTP Live Streaming is not for streaming static files.  It's for live
audio/video broadcasting, where there's no "start" and "end" to the file for
caching purposes.  It *might* simplify caching, but it will make the client and
server way more complicated than they probably need to be.

I think we're best off pushing for increasingly better byte range support in
Varnish.  Alternatively, we could beef up our Swift (or whatever)
infrastructure so that it can deal with the load without having a caching proxy
in front.
