We can handle this similar to the "keepalive" body for COPY requests. Do we know a client using IF headers with ETags? If it is a feature not used by anyone, it has not proven interoperability and we should change/discard it. If we discover that it is used, or if someone can explain the use case and benefits, that is a completely different matter. Our server is able to handle the current IF header syntax, so I have no problem with the current specification. I just think that cutting away unused features will increase interoperable implementations. //Stefan
