When we use the FileStore, the url can have the file hash and thus never change. However, it's hurts usability.
It could have a dummy query suffix instead, perhaps, like the ones we use for software CSS/JS inclusions.
People will want to split functionalities on several custom pages. We should allow JavaScript transcluding (instead of action=raw, some kind of action=trancluded) so instead of insertPage(popups.js) you would have {{popups.js}}.
We could start with eliminating the multiple loads for software pages. :)
The multiple http requests are probably as expensive as transcluding.
Transcluding should be no more expensive than an ordinary page view for low-change-rate things like this.

Should interface images be given smaxage on url? Ie. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Monobook-bullet.png?smaxage=26...
Definitely. I had forgotten that that existed. How about an enwiki sysop add that now?
