Sounds good.  WRT your comments on the need for a cache multiplexer so
one can handle the case of HTTP cache control headers & opaque
server-side caches working together--I'm really wondering if a better
solution isn't to just remove the cache header manipulations from
where they are now (in a seperate product) and integrate it more into
an API any where object [that wants to] can use.  HTTP cache control
really is a protocol level thing, and the way its bundled as an add-on
service right now feels pretty awkward.  But anyway, thats a
digression from the main thrust of your let them eat producer
proposal, which I think is a good idea in general.
