Well, obviously, you'd need to re-implement the client side cache in
each implementation of the client. That is a down side and I certainly
won't argue that. As for the "no substitute" comment, I'm guess I'll
plead ignorance because I'm not sure what I'm missing here. What am I
missing that would not be properly covered by that model?

I'm really not sure what you mean by that. Doesn't address it but is
more efficient? Maybe it's because I've not had my morning coffee
yet... ;)

Maybe...but you did ask for feedback. :)
