Yes, imho it is what the RFC says. But see below.

Not sure, might loose the context somewhat as it's not only about ETag
but also Last-Modified which also has strong/weak properties.

The language wrt the weak compare function isn't really very complex.

      - The weak comparison function: in order to be considered equal,
        both validators MUST be identical in every way, but either or
        both of them MAY be tagged as "weak" without affecting the
        result.

But there is the small questionmark on if this is what was intended for
ETag, or if the optional weakness in the context was only intended for
weak Last-Modified values.. (less than 1 minute before Date).
