I'm curious as to whether the appcache cache is "ignored" as well.  Because that would be a very useful feature - and we should make sure to note that externally as well.  VERY useful feature.

By "ignoring" the appcache, I guess I mean erase it and start from scratch - which implies all the resources in the manifest are going to be reloaded.  

Or is that combining too many side-effects?

AppCache management is a separate thing, we should provide appcache-releated actions / toggles on the corresponding page. But going to the browser window to do Cmd+Shift+r is so annoying. This is a most requested feature for the chrome devtools.
