Skip Lift Processing

For /static/page-skips-lift.html, the following code in Boot.scala skips Lift processing and defers to tomcat/jetty/whatever for a truly static file. This also allows you to avoid loading of liftAjax.js on a per page basis.

    case Req("static" :: "page-skips-lift" :: Nil, "html", _) => false
}```

### Resource ID For Asset Caching

Like Ruby on Rails, Lift will generate a hash to allow for browser caching of resources. You must explicitly tell lift to do this for your resources with the lift class 'with-resource-id'.

```<link class="lift:with-resource-id" href="/css/reset.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>```

### Tail Tag

... Google Analytics Code, etc, etc ```

Surrounding markup with the tail tag will place content to the bottom of the generated HTML right before the closing tag.
