The point is, this is a chicken-and-egg problem - if the page is being read from cache, there is no way of knowing whether or not it contains an extension tag, or any other feature. It is logically impossible to determine whether to parse something as part of the process of parsing it.
I suggested a specific namespace, and asked for comments, and got a big yawn.
It seems to me one could subclass Article or something so that the namespace "Dynamic:" would never be cached, for example.
I ask again: comments?
Pages in the Special: namespace? They are sent with the followin header bit:
Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate, max-age=0
Unless I misunderstand what you want, that should be perfectly sensible for your purposes.
