I try to make my HTTP applications have results which are predictable and the same for everyone, so you can build reliable things on top of them. Mostly that involves Etags, and hash-encoded URL components where round trips are better avoided. I don't like "program/person A sees a different result from program/person B because of luck of the network", even though I agree that a lot of applications are good enough that way and it undoubtedly reduces loads. -- Jamie
