Just to throw my two öre into the discussion - I think both your
interpretations of the word cache are perfectly reasonable, and if is
entirely unclear to me from the standard which should be the correct one.
I'm going to fire off a question to the xdg mailing list and see if I can
get a clarification, and maybe get them to update the spec as well. We'll
see.
My opinion on what to do with the patch is this:
If the xdg people give a clear answer, follow it.
If they don't, don't apply the patch. We don't know the correct answer, and
in the face of uncertainty, I'd rather take the sure before the unsure.
