For example, our home page may say: 1. Click here to register (no cookie) 2. Welcome back blah, sign-in here (has a cookie, not signed in) 3. Welcome back blah (has cookie, already signed in) If this page is hard to generate and static other than this, we'd generate the page with a placeholder. When the page is accessed, read the cached page, replace the placeholders, send it out. The assumption here is that replacing placeholders is more efficient than re-generating the content. So basically, "give me this cached page and replace parameters name=xyz, sign-in-url=http://...". Jim > > >Another useful feature would be placeholders.
