But if you honor the Expires: immediately, you should never cache it.
And, the Microsoft header doesn't have Last-Modified. How about
these Squid configuration directives:

acl noncacheable .microsoft.com
must_cache noncacheable

Which will ignore cache-control, Expires: immediately, and the like.
Or, is it a HTTP protocol violation?

Yeah, I checked it out, and that is so. I'll see how easy/hard it is
to add it to Apache, so it could be out before 1.2. Great way to
exercise my C skills... :)
