Especially if one uses jx for pure presentation logic. The usecase in
forrest is that we use jx for the structurers (which are part of the
dispatcher). Meaning if we force the user to add above tags in the
jx:template, we will spend our days in answering the user mails that
forgot to add it or do not know how to do it, ...

Like stated in the subject, we do not even use flow and adding flow only
for caching I consider kind of stupid.

Can you give a hint how to do it? Is it as simple as adding the params
to the cache key? If so would one use an aggregate validity since one
would need to add all <jx:import>'s to the validity object. 

I just wrapped up the caching in the dispatcher and I reckon the jx
generator would need a similar patch like
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=447311 (see
DispatcherTransformer.java) 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/trunk/whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher/src/java/org/apache/forrest/dispatcher/transformation/DispatcherTransformer.java?r1=446701&r2=447311&pathrev=447311&diff_format=h
