One thing though, is that browsers cache the data with HTML.

Cappuccino uses UTF strings for data, but I wouldn't say "has to resort," it's actually a great experience for both the developer and the user.

Silverlight also uses the browser cache. I'm surprised that Flash doesn't make use of it (if I had to guess I'd say it does, or rather at least it can).

Flash has used the browser cache since the inception of the plugin. In fact it routes all http requests through the browser itself, it has no built-in stack of it's own. (unless you're on the desktop)

SL uses the browser stack by default, but also lets you use its own HTTP client stack.
