Hmmm.... One quote is

<rfc2068>
   If a cache uses a received 304 response to update a cache entry, the
   cache MUST update the entry to reflect any new field values given in
   the response.
</rfc2068>

So one possibility would be to simply invalidate the cache and make an
unconditional request.  This would, of course, kill performance.
