Hopefully when Opera finish their DOM they'll support the W3C version of 
the above, as shown in the second link you provided us on the 
subject.  Otherwise I'll have to use IE just for editing my website :-))

But you could still start a session, couldn't you by calling all the init 
functions?  Also, say the only difference between a logged in user and the 
logged out was an extra menu, couldn't you cache both?  I guess I'm after a 
Smarty kind of template engine that'll process the XML/XSLT and then build 
in PHP queries/includes for the changing data... which would reduce the 
load caused by using XSLT.  but then would probably get rid of the 
advantages :-)

I guess this will by why the cache is best suited to a cms tool, where you 
don't have many logins (so those pages can be generated dynamically) and 
your content isn't changing very often.

Yup.  Which will save ~ 0.0999 s off compile time?
