Yes.
1. SSI with XBitHack full plays the 304 game for me. Every time the catalog
database is updated, its SSI frame gets a touch. Thats it. Simple. Efficient.
2. SSI provides a way to modularize "static" HTML. I have lots of small
HTML snippets. Many of them are generated by a content manager. These
snippets are put together using SSI.
3. Performance.
The main drawback of using SSI is that you mess up error handling. If an
included script generates an error, the 200 has already been sent. This is
the price I have to pay for the fact, that normally while the script is
still running, the browser is already displaying the pages header table.
