<pre>This would be extremely confusing to most people. Completely disabling caches does not match any browsing mode and has unexpected behavior. And it would make the Network and Timeline tab results completely useless if you are trying to diagnose performance issues a user sees.
In the Inspector there is a Reload From Origin command (Cmd-Shift-R), which essentially makes all cache lookups fail (but still caches the responses). This is what you want to use if you suspect there is stale content. We could consider adding that to Safari itself, but such enhancements are tracked via bugreport.apple.com, not WebKit bugzilla.
There are also many server-side things you can do to bust out of the cache.</pre>
