> The problem arises if I update one of those resources on the server. A refresh is intended to be able to revalidate resources that the page needs, so if a change is made, the local browser cache can update its copy. However, this is not possible. All users will have to wait until a potentially long expiration time on those resources expires before they'll ever get the updates.

If we are talking about production version, then there is a common approach: you should version your scripts. E.g. try to load twitter.com and observe timestamp in the name of each js resource.

Otherwise you will encounter problems anyway when your users will not know/use shift-reload.
