Hello,

Wait a sec - this shouldn't be an issue - any queries done through the browser will be updated - the cookie is at freebase.com, and all

I stand corrected. This is indeed the case. I got confused because I made test edits with multiple browsers.

So now we are down to just one problem:

* How do we know if the user changed data? (We want to avoid rebuilding the state of a complex AJAX app if possible) The mwLastWriteTime cookie may have been updated, but it's inaccessible since the app isn't on freebase.com

The obvious way would be to re-run all the relevant queries and compare to the previous results.

It seems a pity that there's no way to get the value of mwLastWriteTime from a Javascript app.

Or am I missing something? --Will
