I am confused now. The explicit list of headers was stripped down to
Content-Length in
https://github.com/httpwg/http-core/pull/490/files.
Instead there is the sentence "Header fields that the cache's stored
representation of the response depends upon, as described
below,". The mentioned description lists Content-Encoding and hints that
further Content-* fields may be omitted. ETag is not
mentioned at all.
