Correct, PmWiki isn't bypassed in the built-in caching.  The part
that was confusing me was that in PITS.00966 the code was saving
only the results of MarkupToHTML(), and not any of the skin
surrounding it.  But Thomas has since clarified that he's
actually capturing the result of the PrintFmt() call, and
not simply MarkupToHTML().  That makes more sense to me, and
explains how one could bypass pmwiki.php in that case.

I'm thinking I may extend $EnableHTML to also cache the
complete HTML output so that it can be grabbed via a
rewrite rule, but try to do it a bit smartly with respect 
to other items (e.g., non-cacheable markups, permissions, etc.).
