Mmm.  I'm not sure anymore.  I wouldn't go that far since we sometimes 
combine Resources together to make OpenLayers layers.  What if some 
DataStore have <cache> turned on and others off ?  Plus, it adds a lot 
of complexity (having to add these 2 nodes to each DS).

The need is : performance boost !  Simply turning the client-side 
"caching" on or off for the whole system seems really fair and simple 
enough.  I still agree that we should have WMS and TC separated though.

What do others think ?
