What would be reasoning behind such a whacked method? Surely developers
will always know how long the cache is to live for (ie, 30mins), rather than
this expiry timestamp thing... From a useability point of view, specifying
the timeout period is much easier. Functionally, whether the conversion
function is insde or outside of the tag should be of little consequence.

ok. lets see if i can't explain this better.
|---------------|---------------|
12:30 1pm 1:30
take the timeline and a cache timeout of 30 mins. when the cache is created,
the cache sets it timestamp to now() (lets say 1pm). and you set
dtcachetimeout to now() - half an hour (which would be 12:30). basically,
what happens is, when that now() - half an hour = the original now() of when
the cache was created, it gets flushed. i.e. when the time reaches 1:30,
now() - half an hour = 1pm, which is the original cache timestamp, the cache
will flush and rebuild.
to set it to a 30 min timeout for dtCachetimeout, you can do something like
<cfset dtCachetimeout = dateadd("n", -30, now())>
hope that's clearer.
Cheers,
Aaron.
