OK, that's alarming.
I don't much care if caching proxies ignore perfectly good Expires:
headers, so long as they pass them on. But if a browser does, that's a
strong argument against that approach. It's also surprising, since the
whole idea of using parameters on JavaScript was taken from other,
popular JavaScript libraries in common use - scriptaculous, to name just
one.
Do you know which, if any, browser which does this? I'd like to test
that assertion, and see if there's any way around it.
