>From Section 8.1.4
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-rfc2518bis-09.html#rfc.section.8.1.4>):

"If ETags are supported for a resource, the server MUST return the ETag header
in all PUT and GET responses to that resource, as well as provide the same value
for the DAV:getetag property."

DAV:getetag explicitly says that Accept headers are not taken into account, so
this must either be relaxed or clarified.
