FWIW, wouldn't plan for CMSs keeping track carefully of their own
output, even if crccache takes over the world. That scenario is very
well served by ETags + md5 or sha1, and ETags has been around for a
long time (http/1.1 did take over the world), and _nobody_ uses it.

As a CMS programmer (moodle, midgard, etc), the focus is on easy, no
hassles development, simple lazy modular APIs... they^Wwe lack the
discipline needed ot make this kind of thing work.

cheers,
