> Because by permanently forcing all future resources to be revalidated, you are thereby sacrificing one goal of caching which is that the server should not be contacted at all until the resource is set to expire. 

Again, I'm not suggesting a different model, by which resources are marked for re-validation NOT when they are added to a page, but when the user holds down the shift button and hits refresh.

I'm not suggesting anything "permanent" about the re-validation... I'm saying that it should be an on-demand thing that matches up with when the user on-demand tries to do a hard refresh.

Also, aren't resources that are loaded during page load marked as "definitely needs revalidation" immediately and for the life-time of the page? So why should resources that are lazy loaded in at a later time also not be marked as "revalidate through the end of this page lifetime"?

BTW, it would appear I'm asking for the same thing that's in Bug #52153.
