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?
Well that does not look like a great idea, I mean, I need namespaces too, they are pretty useful, I can't just move everything or part of a project into a new namespace... And if the page is not dynamic anymore (for example, if you don't use the extension in this specific page), you have to move the page out of Dynamic: ? Tedious. Eventually if it was a specific reserved *category*, not a namespace, but even that... I think Rowan had a decent implementation scheme for this problem (see thread).
