Gecko has a similar (different in mechanism, but not too different in effect) cache for stylesheets. I seem to recall that there was explicit text about this as well, but I can't find it now. The closest I can locate at the moment is the first paragraph at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/fetching-resources.html#fetch : If the resource is identified by an absolute URL, and the resource is to be obtained using an idempotent action (such as an HTTP GET or equivalent), and it is already being downloaded for other reasons (e.g. another invocation of this algorithm), and this request would be identical to the previous one (e.g. same Accept and Origin headers), and the user agent is configured such that it is to reuse the data from the existing download instead of initiating a new one, then use the results of the existing download instead of starting a new one. -Boris
