Re: [squid-users] Future of ESI

WRT the language itself, I think that it was good for its time, but
that it can be improved.

I currently have a back-burner project on to come up with an improved
ESI-like language, taking some of the ideas from my XTech talk last
year <http://www.mnot.net/blog/2006/05/16/web_2_caching>.

More soon (hopefully).
