 Apparently !WordPress does no longer sends Last-Modified: HTTP headers,
 nor anymore gives If-Modified-Since 304 replies, for simple HTTP
 requests for a post, etc.

 But with no revisions, and comments disallowed, nothing on my posts
 changes for years; however !WordPress responds to requests as if it
 my post was constantly changing.

 Too bad one can't define() a setting in wp-config.php that says to
 trust the date of latest revision (and latest comment) from the
 database, and send appropriate Last-Modified, etc.

 Or maybe one must install caching plugins to restore this basic
 functionality.
