I've seen a number of different suggestions on disabling caching over the
years, with variations that worked some places but not in others.

Is this now the "canonical" recommended method of disabling caching of a
web page? Does this really catch all the major browsers and proxies,
including AOL's rather aggressive "accelerator"?
