In private e-mail, Roy, Jeff, and I agreed that HTTP could require
this ignoring of Cache-control to be _detectable_ by the origin
server. If a cache is operating under a situation where it is
ignoring caching header, it should include a
Cache-control: max-stale=<something>
header in the request. Origin servers could, on detecting this
header, deny service if caching would violate law.
For the record, I never agreed to this, and will never agree to it.
