Comment (by virgil):

 As I understand it, the desired behavior is to:

  1. Spit out the stale results.
  1. Somehow signify the results are stale.



 Respectfully, a different status code seems to easiest way of doing this.
 The alternative is to have something like "isStale = True" somewhere in
 the content itself.  And sure this alternative would work just fine.  But
 IMHO it seems easier just to change the metadata for the content (i.e.,
 the returned status code) than the content itself. However, I wholly defer
 to your (Karsten's) judgement.
