Been reading the RFC up and down, and can't in my way of reading it find
any support for this, only the opposite.

Please clue me in on the reasoning here, from the point of the RFC.

For a single request yes. But the semantics for a shared cache is not as
well defined.. so we use the general bailout of "responses may be cached
unless indicated otherwise" in Squid..
