Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I think they used a javascript for this... Not an ideal implementation, especially since javascript won't work for every user.
Anyone else see value in such a MAGICWORD implementation?

You can find an implementation in the list archives (either this or mediawiki-l).

Once rendered, each page is cached and not re-rendered until it is edited, a template it transcludes changes, or it is purged. This feature would require the page to be re-rendered for each unique user that viewed it.
Doesn't this happen anyway? A logged-in user viewing a page for the first time will never get a cached version.
No. The *rendered article* is cached, and shared between all the users (which can't be done if a piece of it changes between users), as opposed to the bar where you see your name. You can disable caching on your preferences, though.
