How about providing three layers of caching:

 - none
 - to static HTML (for very high traffic, or never changing pages)
 - to static PHP (The static content is kept static, which is still 
insanely fast, and 'holes' are left for the dynamic parts, such as a 
news-ticker. )

Each contentelement says what it wants to be, much like today, and the 
final page is put together.

Take a look at the Smarty template engine - it compiles templates to 
PHP. Very cool concept.
