But I get the impression that the HTML 5 spec discusses caching,

I don't see why not... even with caching, it's still the bits that have
times-to-live and are cached, etc; similarly with refreshing, and
messages across Windows, etc -- it's always in terms of concrete
resources, not anything abstract.
It's in terms of responses (entities), which include a bag-of-bits (the
body), plus metadata (where the metadata is not only caching
information, right?).
