I think you were told earlier that "do not cache" has NOTHING to do with
compliant browsers.  It's strictly for caching web proxies.  Do not confuse
IE's misinterpretation of the header with what it was intended for.

NOTHING stops a web browser from caching a web page and presenting it to the
user a second time once the "back" button is pressed, without *any* net
traffic.  This is as it should be.  It's your job (as was already pointed out)
to ignore any callbacks that no longer make sense, either because of the
current conversation *or* some other conversation elsewhere that invalidates
the callback as well.
