Yes.  Since ESI is a specification I'm not that surprised that the site
hasn't been updated.

Squid 3 is close (and getting closer all the time ;^)

Maybe they need a CMS  ;^)

AFAICT, the esi.org site represents the standards-setting body.  Akamai

I'd be interested in hearing that they have to say about it as well.  I
can't remember is Microsoft had any involvement with WSRP.  Being SOAP,
I'd be surprised if Microsoft's "aggregated portal" approach wasn't
based on it (WSRP)...
