The intent of "caching may violate law" is to handle the situation that comes up with certain information (e.g. medical records) going though a cache that may be deliberately ignoring some cache control directives. This allows an information provider a mechanism to flag such information that makes it clear that such data must not be cached. We have knowledge and experience that some caches are run in such a manner, and want some mechanism to deal with it. So that is the background; if you don't like this mechanism, what would you propose? - Jim Gettys
