I tried to say this before but I think something bad happened when I tried to send the mail. I like Jeff's proposal better than what I suggested. My mistake was in presuming that nothing can be thrown away, in particular if-modified-since. Jeff's proposal obsoletes if-modified-since. Since I don't believe if-modified-since can work without some form of synchronization -- either NTP + browser hacks or something like what I said, which is indeed too complicated, maybe it would be best if it just went away in some future version of the protocol, and we just not worry about fine-grained synchronization. In any case the date+expires rule should go in sooner rather than later. --Shel
