Change the templates which depend on CookedBody (typically, that would
be 'document_view'), and have them call a skin method (e.g.,
'document_well_done_body').  Write a PythonScript skin method of that
name, and do whatever processing you need there.  Register this skin
method with a cache manager, to get most of the caching benefits
normally provided by CookedBody.
