The infrastructure of Squid-3 should be a lot more suitable to this type
of content alteration than the earlier Squid-2.x and earlier code bases
was.
In Squid-2 and earlier this type of filtering either had to be too limited
due to content-length restrictions or to intrusive to be considered.
ICAP is certainly a must have in the future, but this does not rule out
other types of content processing within Squid itself.
