Really?  I thought the main defining feature of "cache" is that any of
those files can be thrown away an the system will work as well (tho
potentially a bit less efficiently) and the files will/can be
transparently re-generated if/when needed.

The files in eln-cache seem to fit the description.
Or is XDG's cache not expected to survive a login session?
