Hi TenLeftFingers,

Great that you are continuing to scrutinize Today scope and scopes in general!

As you noted, the Today scope behaves like any other aggregator scope according to the design principles of the scope framework, so this is not really bug against the Today scope but about the scope framework. Therefore, I am going to add a task so that team can see this.

In general it is the responsibility of child scopes to do the right thing, for example using cached data when appropriate to speed things up and reduce network usage.

A few comments:
1) You mentioned a possible issue with sms messages. If so, can you please file a bug against https://bugs.launchpad.net/texts-scope. Please note that the Today scope is only supposed to display a text message if it was received today.

2) Yes, the Day scope could and probably should cache its first result on each day and use that instead of making another web api call each time. I filed this bug to track this request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/day-scope/+bug/1500486
