One more point on this. I wasn't really asking for a list of what I can expect if I ignore the rules (although I think pointing out that reading corrupt data from the cache is worth mentioning), I was asking what the rules for close-to-open consistency were so I can follow them. I now know one of them is that if a file is open for writing on one client then it can't be read on another.
