I think he wrote the section in the guide on headers - that will definitely
help sort things out...
the more I think about it, thoug, I think it will be quite difficult.
say you want to cache a dynamic document for a week from creation - how do

maybe some compromises will be needed, like generically saying "months start
at 1" and "weeks start at sunday", etc...
