Couldn't each voting slip or electronic vote just give out a sequential number, people could later check the correct vote has been cast using that number, thus verifying the process whilst retaining anonimity?
It seems to me that Google has just utilised a browser facility intended for site owners use only. Surely this precaching will increase traffic to websites without the website actually gaining the benefit of real user traffic, as many sites must pay for their own bandwidth is this really desirable? It worries me that to disable this, a webmaster must configure their server to return a 404 if the cache header is present in the request - how can Google justify implementing on a whim something that could inherently cost the industry millions of man hours.
