I'd swear I just saw a very similar question just a week or so ago,
and the answer was that you might look into a different proxy solution
if you need to rewrite content.

I've seen some pretty cool "munging proxy" implementations written
in Java, designed to strip down web pages for mobile devices, even
to the point of resizing and downsampling image files for small screens.
e,g, http://www.noisygecko.com/Projects/Treo600/BlazerProxy

This would be a cool idea for an optional cache header squid could
return. Trying to "safely" insert these into the page anywhere other
than the HTTP headers or perhaps the HTML <title> element would
likely be problematic.

I'm sure Henrik can give a more complete/official answer.
