Intermediaries is proxies etc. These do their own condidionals
processing, and some do follow the RFC and allows for weak etags to be
used in conditionals.

Clietn -> Squid -[internet]-> Apache

the object in question is having a weak ETag but significant freshness
assigned to it via mod_expires or similar.

object gets cached by Squid & client with a weak etag

client later issues an IF-None-Match request to Squid using the weak
ETag. Squid considers the object still fresh and responds with 304.
