Not true. It's also rather better at saying "This is going to change
something on the server. If the user hits follows a link from the target
place and then hits back, or if they hit refresh, then shove a dirty great
warning in their face, oh, and don't go precaching the content - you'll
check stuff on the server that the user might not want to change!"
