links caches the results of POST operations (down to not doing the post)
breaks the spirit of HTML design, in that you use GET for requesting
data from a database, and POST for adding data to a database. If I want
to add the same data twice, I might want to just POST the same form
twice. I would not expect my browser to only submit it once.
