Can't we make > sure a same document always use the same key ? When you get a document and put it in the cache, you can put it under it's canonical key which might, for instance, be xwiki:Main.WebHome:en but most of the requests for that document will go to xwiki:Main.WebHome (which returns the same document from the store). If you refuse to cache under any key but the canonical key, you will defeat most of the cache's usefulness. BTW: This is the issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6170
