Agreed.

From experience I think it's also worthwhile to further stress the
importance of ETag uniqueness among variants of a URI. Very few
implementations get this part correct. In fact most major web servers
have issues here...

Some even strongly believe that entities with different Content-Encoding
is the same entity, arguing that since most encoding (at least the
standardized ones) can be converted to the same identity encoding so
they are in fact the same entity and should have the same strong ETag.
