Hi Julian,
HTTPbis, part 4 already has text stating that extensions need to define
how additional conditional headers are expected to play with others,
which is why I brought my question to the WebDAV list. I can certainly
take it to the HTTPbis list of you still feel that is the best place.
"Any extension to HTTP/1.1 that defines additional conditional request
header fields ought to define its own expectations regarding the
order for evaluating such fields in relation to those defined in this
document and other conditionals that might be found in practice."
