[accesskey]+[c] (usually) for the nstab-ns button is very handy for refreshing
just the HTML of the current page. This is contrary to ctrl-r or f5, which
revalidate CSS/JS with a lot of extra HEAD requests in Mozilla browsers. On
dialup, or with a tiny bit of lag in any of the servers serving <head>
scripts/styles, this can make a huge difference.

The nstab link also contains, on Special pages, the parameters you've currently
selected. So one simply has to hit the accesskey for nstab-special (if defined)
to refresh without revalidate (per above).

This absolutely doesn't apply to a wiki, where virtually every page is
potentially dynamic, some from one second to the next. Suggest WONTFIX with
prejudice. This bug report is an utter waste of users' time.
