OmniWeb 3b4: Open URL service and cache

The problem has nothing to do with caching.  The problem is that OmniWeb  
doesn't even look at the cache when told to open a url if that url is the one  
currently being displayed (it considers the operation a no-op), and unless  
you write a bundle you don't have access to the full OmniWeb API.

We have a bug logged against this behavior (from the last time you asked  
about it), but no, we haven't changed it yet.  You could work around this  
problem today by writing an OmniWeb bundle, which could provide a more rich  
Services or Distributed Objects API which your application could use.  Or you  
can wait for us to solve this problem (but it might be another release or  
two before we get to it).

Any API questions (such as this) are welcome on the omniweb-dev list.
