missed the subtle, but substantive change in the midst of the rest.

I think that the `Cache-Control: nocache` response is a useful
feature.  I do remember being careful to permit uncacheable responses,
knowing that this would be an important use case.  I want to be able
to use push to trivially replace long-polling and this would help with
that.

Maybe Mark can defend his change.
