Right, this ought to be a SHOULD.
Interestingly enough, this "bug" basically goes back to RFC1945,
where it says:
c) If the resource has not been modified since a valid
If-Modified-Since date, the server shall return a 304 (not
modified) response.
RFC2119 says that "SHALL" and "MUST" mean the same thing, although
I'm not sure that was the intention in RFC1945.
