No, there is no way to insert data into cached pages or feeds.

Well, I'm not sure it's so much a flaw in the cache as it is a 
difference in what kind of content you want to serve.

Cached content is always valid until something changes and the content 
needs to be refreshed.  If you are changing your content at least once 
per day in order to put the day's date on every page then you need to 
invalidate your cache at least once per day to pick up that change.

Good documentation, thanks.

One question: we have a header on all pages (except in the blog pages)
with name day and today's date. Because of that I guess we need to flush
the memcache each midnight, or can we somehow insert data dynamically
into cached entries?

If we can do that, we can probably also have one cache for all users, not
one cache per logged-in user, which IMHO is a flaw in the cache
mechanism.

Cheers!
