Comment:

 This refresh patch has a couple problems.

  1. The 'adding a cache-busting parameter' code does not work cleanly on
 URLs like "/georss.xml?type=foo' -- it will add ?currenttime=2008-blah to
 the 'type', messing up that parameter.
 2. The caching stuff should be optional (since ideally that should be
 handled on the server)
 3. The patch has other things in it that shouldn't be there (and won't
 apply any more)
 4. The new way to do this is actually pretty simple: layer.loaded=false;
 layer.url = 'foo'; layer.loadRSS();

 Given this, I'm bumping out of 2.8 unless someone offers a cleaned up
 patch to improve these things.
