> > I'm not sure how what has been suggested exposes anything about HTTP caching to the end user. For myself, I have only requested that *developers* be able to request a resource with revalidation. As it stands, you allow anyone (end users, developers) to revalidate resources in the main document by refreshing. Why can a developer not revalidate a resource via a JS-originated request?

It would be *great* to solve bug 51286 because it gives us a reliable way (hopefully cross-browser?) to revalidate any resource we want on the fly. But what's still missing is the ability to detect that the main resource was refreshed. We'd want to know that also, so that we can then choose to re-cache additional resources via XHR.
