Hello,
We (Cloudant) have actually discussed implementing exactly that in CouchDB. I agree with Per that it wouldn't be difficult to do, we just haven't gotten around to it.
I've noticed some native caching is coming for Couch 1.1.0 [http://www.apacheserver.net/memrioa-management-at1047105.htm ], but know no details.
TTLs are good enough in some cases but cache invalidation is the only way to go in many.
Yes, in many cases "expiration" based caching makes sense. "Validation" based caching would be really handy, though. But maybe as non-trivial as cache invalidation of view results, fulltext queries, etc based on changes of individual docs...
