Re: [whatwg/fetch] Refreshing of stale response assumed to always be successful (#950)

It's certainly _possible_ for a 304 to contain a non-matching Etag, but the cache shouldn't update the response. Whether or not the client retries the request is up to it -- but usually it will, if it still wants a response. HTTP doesn't specify it because it's pretty generic, but I could see Fetch doing so (if you can get everyone to agree).
