Agreed, only GMT is allowed on the wire. I still believe it's potentially useful, and not unsafe, to transform a non-GMT timestamp into a valid GMT timestamp before putting it on the wire.

(I'm also not opposed to removing such a header entirely; I just don't think that's as useful.)

    In my opinion, turning a completely invalid string (e.g.
    "Last-Modified: blahblahblah") into a current Last-Modified stamp
    *is* interpretation. We'd be attaching a Last-Modified value to a
    resource that doesn't really deserve one.

That is precisely what the spec calls us to do.

Can you provide a section? I don't know 723x to the extent I knew 2616 yet.
