Comment:

 Okay, I applied all of this except for the part where we make
 "DownloadExtraInfo" no longer set caches-extra-info.  As far as I can
 tell, that wouldn't actually save any bandwidth: the nodes in question
 with DownloadExtraInfo set would still fetch the ExtraInfo document --
 they just wouldn't share 'em.
