why not have a new attribute 'unCached'?

10 = TEXT
10.unCached = 1
10.data = date:U
10.strftime = %A, %e. %B %Y

20 = TEXT
// default:
20.unCached = 0		
20.data = date:U
20.strftime = %A, %e. %B %Y

I might be wrong, but I think an attribute 'cached' with default-value 1 
might be more complicated to handle
