s/1/8;s/4/5
That seems reasonable. Can I tackle that _after_ the current batch is
off my plate? :-O

(assuming s/4/5)
Here I don't agree. The format of the cache file is an internal
implementation detail; the user can select a format (possibly for
file-sharing purposes[1]), but beyond the name of each format ("old",
"compat", "new"), these are opaque.
In my opinion a file format need be documented in section 5 only if it
is (deliberately) exposed to manipulation by other tools.
