I agree with Markus on this one. I think the key point here is,
a delegate is an intermediary acting on behalf of the consumer. It may
be a caching proxy, a non-caching proxy, or some other form of
a gateway for that matter. Our current definition has artifacts from
the past that unnecessarily associate caching capabilities.

Mark,
In section 2, DELEGATE is defined as a caching proxy. Is it always
the case that it implements a cache?
Hm, I would say it does not necessarily have to implement a cache,
which would mean we've to correct the definition... Other opinions?
