interesting idea. there's certainly plenty of sites, though, where
the cache would get invalidated so often that the cache would be
of limited value.  e.g. a busy squishdot-type site, or many CMF sites.
and on those kind of sites, the busiest times are when you most need
the cacheing...

but the simplicity is certainly appealing...  and in my case, i 
have a CMF site where this would likely be quite useful since
the public never logs in, only our content management team, and
we tend to make changes on dev servers and push them to production
in a big bunch.
