It also leaves open some not-quite-trivial questions like "how do you know when to expire the cache, which are usually easy to work out for a particular application but do not generalize easily.

I was under the impression that the IRealm.requestAvatar() is *always* called *once* after ICredentialsChecker.requestAvatarId() so I simply delete the data from the cache once my avatar is created (and it works fine).

Am I presuming something I shouldn’t?
