So I am still a little confused about whether Squid simply lets stuff
stay in the cache past the Expires time, or whether it always checks
past-Expires responses with the origin server before providing them.
Kolics Bertold's quote from the Squid 1.1 release notes implies (but
does not specifically state) that Squid *always* checks freshness;
Anthony Baxter's comments implies (but not specifically state) the
opposite.

Sorry about the confusing language the first time I sent this.
