Ah, that. I'd guess about 2/3 of the patch is being done by default now
in the latest Squid.

  * headers added if missing according to RFC, allowing longer caching
times.
  * stale responses being served on revalidation 5xx failure (server
unavailable), NP: this is controlled by the stale-if-error= HTTP header.
  * caching dynamic objects wherever possible
  * responses being cached first, removed if required.
  * reverse-proxy overrides to ignore client Cache-Control: headers.

What is not done is the DNS suppression and external traffic suppression
tri-state mode. We have not come to any good definition of what it means
to be using an proxy offline. Have concentrated on the error detection
and recovery instead.
