I've intentionally included the URLs which support my position; none of
which do I have any commercial interest in. This is not link spam, this is
me explaining your problem to you in order to save time and money.

There are your:
- existing solutions that work today
- types (web standard types)
- use cases
- server load engineering challenges (web apps must cache)

Have a good day.
