The point is, this is a chicken-and-egg problem -

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).
