I think DASL should not return an entity tag with search responses -- I really can't see search caching being much of a benefit. Since a search will span multiple resources, the likelihood of a search result being the same the second time for the same client seems low. But, I have no experience with search caching. What are typical hit rates for search caching anyway? - Jim
