People *do* understand that URLs/URIs identify resources. What's the 
point in saying "the cache stores resources", and then later go on 
saying "but not these things, they are not resources, even though they 
are identified by a URL"?

And, nitpicking: does the cache store bags-of-bits, bags-of-bits plus 
metadata, or URLs (as you just said)?

If the point of redefining "resource" was to reduce confusion: it is 
*not* working.
