Don't think this will be happend since there are different types of  
machines out on the Web and all users want to see animations so you have
to offer one aninimation file working for all types of machines.
And if code executed from the cache this is a big bug in a viewer and a
very large piece of "luck" it catched the entry-point of the code and runs
on the right machine.
