We use it for all browsers. We are sooo tired of coding
'browser-conditionalized'(tm;) ) applications :(

I expirienced strange (partly non-reproducable) Netscape-misbehaviours
with private caching, therefor we got used to a strict 'no caching'
policy for session-based sites. The images get cached anyhow, and the
pure textual information doesn't waste that much bandwith.

Why? I don't know but I suppose, that it should avoid an endless
relocation loop.
At least the Netscape-Browsers just won't relocate to the same URL
they just tried to load.

This 'pseudo-solution' doesn't change the fact, that using the
back- and forward-buttons doesn't mix well with 'stateful' sites.
