If you read how I originally worded the question, you can see that I did ask for documentation, however, I don't think it was inappropriate to do so since that wasn't the entire point to my question.

You indicate that it wasn't the entire point of your question, but our counter point would be, the very request for documentation isn't on topic. If you were provided an answer, you could then request, evidence supporting their answer and you would be entirely within the intent of the rule. One would expect an answer to this type of question, to be supported by documentation, even if you don't explicitly request it. Furthermore your question actually only contains a single question, I have provided your entire original revision, for complete context.

Note that I don't mean the maximum size of the browser cache. I mean, what is the maximum size of individual files that will be cached by the latest versions of the major desktop browsers (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, IE/Edge). Mobile versions optional.

If there is a limit, where is this documented?

This question was originally asked on Server Fault, but only received an answer for Firefox before it was closed as off topic.

The only question I see is a request for documentation on the limit, if it exists, which if it exists would be discoverable with a Google search. You failed to provide a body to your question. You incorrectly presumed, we knew what your actual question actually was, you incorrectly used the title of the question as a beginning sentence to your question.

I only saw your question in its original form. I don't recall how I voted, but the original revision is not very specific, good questions seek an answer about a specific real problem. We don't need to know every single detail, but enough that we understand what the problem is, so if we know the solution to the problem we can provide it.
