All the HTML is chached. Are you saying you want to cache everything including
the output of dynamic components? If so, then just stick squid in front of your
server.

If you've got designers deleting tags then you need to educate them or fire
them. You cannot be flexible on that issue. Also, embedding code in HTML is no
different then putting arbitrary tags that some of the "templating" solutions
use.
My last job was with Tivoli Systems and I used HTML::Embperl with great success
in several applications including ones that involved "designers" going in and
modifying pages with embedded perl code.
