Thanks for the time you've taken to reason through this issue, since it's such a hassle for users at the moment. Just to be clear: developers themselves (for which a developer extension might help) are not the problem, its the end users who are frustrated by this.

The shift-refresh suggestion aside, in terms of a feature developers can opt-into, what about the other suggestion here? If application developers could 1) detect that the main resource was refreshed and 2) force revalidation when performing a lazy-load of a resource, I think that we'd have a suitable solution that developers can work with. They could easily decide to revalidate resources they later request on a case by case basis this way. Perhaps by toggling on a revalidation mode, requesting the resources, and then toggling it off (unless there's a per-request flag that can be passed somehow).
