Can you provide me with more details:

1. Should date meta tag have a higher priority than Last-Modified, or
be taken into account only if there is no Last-Modified?

2. Is that a standard of any kind, or just ht://Dig extension? If it's
not a standard, please describe a way how you use it.

3. Does this prevents re-loading the whole document from the network,
or it just prevents from document parsing and storing in DB?

4. What is date format? 

BTW please note that we also honour/set ETag/If-None-Match pair of headers,
and we also honour Expires: header, if it is set to a date later than 
now + Period from aspseek.conf (See RFC 2616).

Maybe this will be of any help to you?
