Comment:

 Well all I know is 304 stuff is a basic web technology... all the big
 boys use it.

 Embarrassing that !WordPress can't say it the things it is emitting
 have changed or not.

 How that is to be calculated is an internal affair.

 A banner ad rotation shouldn't change a Last-Modified date.

 But a site notice added to each page might.

 But I would still as a rule use the same date as you do for RSS.

 ...and let some fancy plugin tamper with that if it insists.
