I've worked on this for a long time and I find that it is much easier 
to discuss steady-state processing using caches.  This is especially 
true for discussing how PFP works, for example.  We had a cache-less 
description in 2401. As primary author of that document I can tell 
you that the one aspect of 2401 that resulted in the most e-mail 
questions was a direct result of not having a cache-based model.
