 One of Dan Boneh's students just upgraded SafeCache to Firefox 4. He also
 implemented a headers-only version of the double-key cookie policy:
 http://crypto.stanford.edu/cs294s/projects/browser.html

 While the cookie bits don't seem to be that great (lots more side effects
 compared to Dan Witte's policy), the SafeCache definitely seems useful. I
 should merge them both in and just disable the cookie bits via pref.
