I have all sorts of other PHP stuff there that would make that

Excuse me, but there's no reason that content-type negotiation has to
completely break cacheing. Sure, you'll send out the negotiate and
vary headers, which somewhat reduces the efficacy of cacheing, but
you can still have headers relating to last-modified etc. (of the
underlying content) even when the content-type is negotiated.

Maybe in theory, but I could not persuade my work proxy to cache both
types, leading to IE asking me if I wanted to download my pages...!

Perhaps I'm missing something - any suggestions? Feel free to take this
to private mail if you think it's getting off-topic.

FWIW, I'd be interested to see any ways in which this could work - I'm
interested in Mark's cunning techniques for content negotiation, but the
main thing that was putting me off was inability to get pages to cache.

Perhaps redirect to comp.infosystems.www.authoring.misc? It's quiet
enough there that I doubt anyone would mind anyway . . .
