(I'm sorry, I've lost track of where "the charter" is kept, so I'll have to ask
the assembled masses for their collective wisdom on my questions.)
What are your thoughts on whether the charter does and/or should include either
or both of the following ideas.
1. Lease-based caching: there can be a contract between a client and a server
(some caching proxies, at least, and perhaps also origin servers), in which the
server is responsible for notifying the client when pages fetched by the client
cease to be the latest version.
2. Replicated servers: rather than "an origin server", there is a collection of
peer origin servers; a given client (user agent or intermediary) reads from and
writes to a single one of the peers, and the peers propagate the updates among
themselves.
