How to handle malformed If-Modified-Since is already specified. Such
conditionals is simply ignored.

The fact that this leads to degraded performance to clients sending
malformed If-Modified-Since headers giving them the same functionality
as not using conditionals at all is not something the spec needs to go
into. Should be obvious to anyone who analyses the problem with their
implementation.
