#371: If-Modified-Since lacks definition for method != GET

 From an off-list WGLC comment:

>     3.3. If-Modified-Since
>
>         The "If-Modified-Since" header field MAY be used to make a request method conditional by modification date: if the selected representation has not been modified since the time specified in this field, then do not perform the request method; instead, respond as detailed below.

> This section doesn't seem to say anything about methods other than GET, yet the text seems to imply that a more general case is also covered below.

Indeed, the spec doesn't really say; is it (a) undefined, (b) 304, or 
(c) 412?

Feedback appreciated,
