  Alternatively, specifying the option --update-cache will
  update a cache of Plucker records (though it's not clear
  what this is good for).

I don't know if it's used for anything today, but a long time ago we
didn't have the tools to create a Plucker document directly. Instead
we used lynx and awk scripts to download and convert web pages into
"records" that were stored in the cache dir. When we had finished the
gathering of web pages we used a C program to "send" each record to
the Palm device and create the Plucker document on the device.

To summarize, I guess it is included for historical reasons ;-)
