Browsers could make it possible by implementing history mechanism exactly like HTTP/1.1 specification suggests in section 13.13, i.e. going back in history should never cause resubmits, so there shouldn't be anything to ask about. Users should simply see previous state of the page, just like in case of GET.

Do you think that solution suggested by RFC 2616 13.13 is not appropriate?

Is Opera's solution of this problem not good enough?
