X-sendfile is already "in the wild" and supported by a number of backends.
I don't have strong feeling as to how it is implemented within httpd, but
the subrequest gives a lot of flexibility to it, like using deflate, running
SSI on php output, etc.
Using subrequests means that mod_cache won't bite, right? At least
that's the reason for mod_ftp-requests not being handled by the cache
from what I've understood.
If we're going to include X-sendfile I'd really like it to play well
with mod_cache, however I have no clue if the solution is to fix
mod_cache to handle subrequests or just don't use subrequests when
serving content...
