jquery/jquery-mobile — Issue #3123: JavaScript files linked on the AJAX-loaded pages are requested with timestamp -- not good for caching

While optimizing my jQuery Mobile website, I noticed that JavaScript files that I reference on the individual pages are requested with a timestamp like below:

/scripts/feedback.add.helper.js/?_=1321829949576

While it can be handy sometimes, it prevents script files from leveraging web browser caching. And I really want the files cached. on the client. I reviewed JQM code but did not find anything that would enable me change this behavior. Pages themselves (HTML) are requested without timestamp. Can it be changed somehow?

Tested in Mozilla 7.0.1.
