    Hmmm...this seems to be essentially the above-mentioned strategy, which is good but not great. It requires you to write out an html file that then has to be cleaned up later (merlyn suggests using a cron job to periodically delete the files). Is there no way to be a bit more dynamic? E.g. not have to write out static files at all, and hence avoid the hassle of making an intelligent cleaner-upper?
