I'm with the OP.  Regardless of the finer details of the RFC, if I'm a  
web developer and I set the "Cache-Control:" header to "private" or  
"no-cache," I would expect it not to be cached by any midstream proxy,  
regardless of who controls it.  This would be especially true if I  
worked for a larger organization, where some folks in another country,  
despite receiving a paycheck signed by the same person as me, may  
control a proxy layer I'm not even aware of.
