> What does 304 translating to a 200 mean?

We end up replacing a 304 network response with its stored response (so that a fetch caller almost never sees a 304, unless they control the revalidating headers themselves). We currently don't assert that the stored response has a 200 status code, but I think the HTTP specifications do end up requiring that. Might need to be further clarified as well. @mnot's input on this would be appreciated.

That does look good, modulo whether we should check for "ok status", "200", or "200 or 206".
