Hi Jason

This wouldn't make sense if an author wants to show the user the most
current image version, for instance in a webcam scenario. In this case
it would be yucky if you couldn't reload the image  ;)

You could profit from the cache if you make it load conditionally: If
the image is already there, don't load, just display it.
