- The login and page/post editing/creation forms post back to the same page, thereby incentivising the browser to cache the form inputs as well. This is as opposed to the common post/redirect/get model (see \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get}). Also, the \code{Cache-Control} isn't explicitly used anywhere in the \CMS{} to aid the situation. In my test setup, the response does send \code{Cache-Control:no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0}, but that'll be a default global Apache setting, I think.

- The \CMS{} by no means sends any larger amount of parameters than would be expected, seen as it is but a simple app and mostly lacks extra functionality often leading to this kind of excessive parameter transferring, so I count this as a pass.
