"This document defines requirements on HTTP caches... "   -[Page 12], last paragraph, suggestion to use SHOULD  or MUST   "heuristics can only be used on responses without explicit freshness"-----> "heuristics SHOULD/MUST only be used on responses without explicit freshness"   -[Page 19], "update the stored response a described below;"--typo-->"update the stored response as described below;   -[Page 22], does is matter if it is strong versus weak validation? " 5.2.1.4.  no-cache      The "no-cache" request directive indicates that a cache MUST NOT use    a stored response to satisfy the request without successful    validation on the origin server. " -[Page 34], Security section, as mentioned in my other reviews, would it be better to have a separate draft to discuss all security issues related to HTTP?       Best Regards, Meral   --- Meral Shirazipour Ericsson Research www.ericsson.com
