> I think in general it's not well understood among the user community about why this issue isn't being given higher priority, as the original bug discussion illustrates. 

Normally for a bug to gain visibility solely because of high demand from "the community" there needs to be much more discussion, many more dupes (both here and in Radar at Apple), people reaching out directly to an evangelist, or *some other indication* that developers want this resolved.

All we have on this is a single bug report on bugs.webkit.org, only 12 people CC'ed, with zero activity since 2010 (your Jan 30th comment aside).

> To answer your question: yes, indeed this is the change I am requesting. Though for what it's worth I would put forth a general objection to this being treated as a feature request and hope it would be considered as a true bug. That's your call of course, but my $0.02.

It's easy to see it as a bug when it is spelled out that subresources are revalidated while the main resource is not.

Again, back to my original comment on this, that wasn't clear at the time with your test case and without the context of the original bugzilla.

> I had forgotten about the other bug at the time I posted this, so feel free to close it now as a duplicate of that one.

Yup, and I've added this information there.
