I believe that last time this was proposed, several people commented 
that this sort of encoding was a nasty hack, and that URL parameters are 
there to do exactly this.

We don't want bugs to be cache-friendly; we want the page to be 
regenerated every time it's asked for - because it's different for 
different people.
