It may not be the algorithm I specified, but I think there must be some way to do it. It seems like it must be possible to just say "list all the files in the active cache which are (or have been) loaded in A, and let's re-validate that list of files."

Nowhere in my comment did I see this bug was invalid, or that we can't resolve it while also preserving a very important performance optimization for end users.

My comment was in reply to 3 comments - with an obvious "web developer" bias - who suggested that it IS worthwhile to destroy a very important end user optimization to make the life of web developers easier.

Both camps can be accommodated here.  I was merely intending to put up resistance the growing "web developers are clearly more important" momentum.
