It is supported, and I think it should be treated as well. Eg. if you use a 
multisession CD-R for backups it is very important, and its also useful if 
you realized that you burned a wrong version of a file (or files) to the CD.

Also I think if the cache directory is configurable, there should be an option 
to not use this dir at all (except for file from the non-local file system). 
Before burning there can be a validation and tell the user if some of the 
files from the list are not valid anymore (he has moved/deleted them), and 
ask what to do, like:
- delete the files from the list and burn
- abort burning

PS: It is a fact that in some places of the world even with cheap hard disk 
prices there are users who cannot afford to have 2*650MB (cache dir and ISO 
image) free space for CD burning, and I think you really must take this into 
account. Otherwise they will just use a burner application, not the slave.
