I'd have to carefully follow the code there, but it's at least true most
of the time.
I put the "retrieved but not changed" case in because it seemed that
servers would often ignore the If-Modified-Since header in the request and
send the document anyway, but *would* include a Last-Modified header.

Probably. There were some problems with the implementation of that
attribute and I think we fixed it in 3.1.3. It's definitely correct in 3.2
(which has true as the default.)
