What we're doing may not be 100% per spec, but it doesn't seem to cause
any problems either... other than some nominal wierdness in feed readers
that support conditional gets but don't keep a feed history (like
Firefox Live Bookmarks). In other words, assuming that some offenses
are more egregious than others, this is kind of like a rolling stop
through a four way intersection in the middle of the desert when there
aren't any other vehicles around.
I would expect to see problems as soon as cacheing HTTP proxies are in
the request path.
