Is that the Webmaster responsible for the content of the site, or that
of the site which hosts/serves the pages? Many (probably most)
organizations do not host their own web pages. 

For Demon homepages, is there any way that the customer can set the
Expires: header so that other caches will correctly refresh (I know
that the customer can (and should) force the Demon caches to refresh
when a page is updated)? Will setting a Meta tag with the expires
work, or does it have to be set in the server?

[crossposted to demon.homepages.authoring because that is where the
question is relevent]
