I found that link and the first thing I thought was: what is a .mspx file extension? A lot of googling revealed to me that the answer lie at http://www.microsoft.com/backstage/bkst_column_46.mspx. Unfortunately, that is a dead link. Fortunately for me, nothing on the web goes away once posted (more about that regarding social networking photos, but I digress).

From the web archives:

“The presentation framework includes a custom Web handler built in ASP.NET. Pages that use the presentation framework have the .mspx filename extension, which is registered in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) on the Web servers. When one of the Microsoft.com Web servers receives a request for an .mspx page, this custom Web handler intercepts that call and passes it to the framework for processing.

The framework first checks to see whether the result is cached. If it is, the page is rendered immediately. If the page is not cached, the handler looks up the URL for that page in the table of contents provided by the site owner (see below) to determine where the XML content for the page is stored. The framework then checks to see if the XML is cached, and either returns the cached content or retrieves the XML from the data store identified in the table of contents file.

Within the file that holds the content for the page, XML tags identify the content template to be used. The framework retrieves the appropriate template and uses a series of XSLTs to assemble the page, including the masthead, the footer, and the primary navigational column, finally rendering the content within the content pane.”

Now that is interesting. Oh, and so was this:
