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.
