"Well, after browsing around I wonder if I could use a delayed validity to 
implement this. It would not help me skipping the request step for the external 
content, but I could get a validity on the content and therefore skip the 
following transformers"

Yes, as I wrote on your other thread, if you can find the validity on the 
content, then you could make it cacheable apart from having todo the request 
for the validity.

"Am I right with the delayed validity beeing the solution here?"

I am not sure why to use a delayed validity...all your generator should do, is 
that during cocoon cachekey checking and validity checking, your generator 
should fetch something like a timestamp of lastmodified of your external 
source. Has nothing to do with delayed validity if you ask me. 

"What is the best start point to implement delayed validity (sample component)?"

If you are sure you need this one, look at the DirectoryGenerator and the 
TraxTransformer. They both implement delayed validity (more precize, delayed 
agregated validity)

Check the end of 
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/documentation/writing/690.html, it really 
might help you understanding cocoon cache,
