It should be up to the author. The spec is nearly right, except
that the author (=server) cannot influence the browsers behaviour.
There's a number of methods to prevent cache's and browser's
from caching your page, which is right, but none to prevent
this back behaviour. Koen's original proposal would've dealt
with that situation nicely. Oh well.
