From a Featured Home Page Discussion [
webmasterworld.com...] about "Google Launches Trial of Page Speed Service: [
googlecode.blogspot.com...] --
To use the service, you need to sign up and point your site’s DNS entry to Google. Page Speed Service fetches content from your servers, rewrites your pages by applying web performance best practices, and serves them to end users via Google's servers...
I gotta admit that's brilliant. Why cache and re-serve crap code* -- a.k.a. code that doesn't measure up to G's delectably vague "web performance best practices" -- and run afoul of --
thorny copyright issues
pesky .htaccess and mod_rewrite and other access controls
diddly robots.txt files and robots meta tags
cranky old-school webmasters
-- when you're
given permission to essentially host, process, serve, and track Every. Single. Thing. from the get-go?
Hmm... Maybe this explains the still-mysterious "urlresolver" [

So. If anyone tests this scheme, if you give G the keys to your henhouse, I'd love to know if your logs show anything, anymore.
