That's fine with me, but this would be out of scope of the spec text -
right?  I.e. browser UI can provide ways to refresh and force reload, with
the specific UI an implementation detail.  We'd of course need to work with
Chrome UX to decide how exactly the different mechanisms should be
triggered on all platforms, but I can do that once we have a 'refresh'
event specified.
