The first thing that springs to mind is that your pages will expire two
years ago... It would be nicer to have a way of saying that the expiry
date = (now + x days).

My main problem with setting an Expires heading is that it affects all
users (including people who wouldn't know to reload the page), so it's
really only suitable for small wikis where you're the main user.

What you really want is a good offline browser that will cache stuff for
you even if it not supposed to be cached. Not familiar with what software
is out there for this.
