At the risk of making a number of people vomit, I could point out that this is the sort of thing which Smarty [1] is exceptionally good at already, what with its ability to cache areas within pages, and its support for per-user cache versions [2].
I believe we are discussing object caching, and not output caching at this point. Implementing that kind of caching in phptemplate isn't that hard either. I'm just not sure where it's useful at this point, as I believe block level caching is more useful (as caching is a module developer oriented task, and not a theme designer oriented task). This was in one of chx's version of the regions patch, where each block had a 'cache' property, including a callback to check for expiration. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com
