I agree!<br><br>For the overhead of handling the well known problems of cacheable_data (e.g. locking during updates) this solves every objection that I can think of.<br><br>Most importantly this ensures that there is always a resolution for the identifier.<br>
<br>A simple history file (journal?) can track changes made to archived identifiers (i.e. a list of changes made to the cache - analogous to a file system journal). As I think of it there are several ways to handle this problem, all of which fit nicely within the general concept that you have made.<br>
