Does no-store in request imply no-cache?

Hello,

     One interpretation of RFC 2616 allows the proxy to serve hits when
the request contains "Cache-Control: no-store". Do you think such an
interpretation is valid?

   no-store
       The purpose of the no-store directive is to prevent the
       inadvertent release or retention of sensitive information (for
       example, on backup tapes). The no-store directive applies to the
       entire message, and MAY be sent either in a response or in a
       request. If sent in a request, a cache MUST NOT store any part of
       either this request or any response to it.

Thank you,

Alex.
