One question: if this NewsHelper is NOT an avalon component (or 
object instantiated by flow.createObject) then it doesn't have acces 
to any backend logic or data (for example database that stores 
expiration time for different news services). Would it be possible 
to instantiate this object via flow.createObject analogy?

Of course. You could equally well say:
sendPage("my-url", {"myObject", myAvalonObject});
<page jx-cache-key="myObject.getValidity()">

But that does not differ from what I proposed in first post and 
Sylvain wrote it is a bad idea.

Please read my last post. There's a subtle but very important 
difference: the cache information is computed *by the template* even if 
the information needed for that is given in the view data.

And this distinction is important, as that's in the template that we 
precisely know what constitutes the cache validity. Moreover, you may 
consider the case of complex pipelines where the actual template depends 
on the user rights, target browser or whatever else. In that case, the 
cache information can be different depending on used template.

So, in simple words: cache information is a concern of pipeline 
components, data needed to compute it can come from anywhere, including 
flowscript view data.
