If it is just an image it does this already with (normal) XObject. What use case would you have were it is not cached for the same image (url) in the same document. We had a discussion recently and the concensus was that you wouldn't need to specify caching for images. If you mean a collection of PDF markup things then it could be a case for Form XObject. For the slide show thing I just wrapped the fo in an xml element which converts to wrapping the area with a special area that the renderer can pickup and place the contents in a Form XObject. > The static regions are probably another area where we can use xforms > though we would need to be careful of the more dynamic elements like > page numbers.
