Is that correct?

I looked in the Oxford English Dictionary, the Random House Dictionary,
and a couple other dictionaries of less substantial heft, and could not
find anything authoritative at all. RH gives the derived forms "cached"
and "caching"; OED offers nothing. I'd be interested to see an
authoritative reference for the spelling of the adjective form.

Possibly we should avoid the issue by using another word ;-)
