I've had similar success by appending the site version to the query string. src="/foo.js?v=2.1" This has worked for me across all major browsers and required extremely little work for setup and maintenance.

This requires all api changes to touch the version (to be pedantic) which then becomes a major source of version control conflicts (in my experience).
