I have my own quote script, but I don't think it will solve your
cacheing problem.  If you want to try it let me know and I can e-mail it
to you.

Another idea might be to integrate an iframe to include an external page
(script) that does the same thing.  You might be able to adapt X-Include
to accomplish something like that.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to have the page cached?  What about
disabling wiki's page expiry, then the entire wiki page would be cached
(?).

Could you ellaborate, I couldn't understand a single part of that last
paragraph.  Simple english would be great.
