That does not sound reasonable...

First of all, the CPM (caching policy manager) does not
compare itself. That's done by the objects themselves.
And I know that they do it right.

Second, we use the DublinCore "modified()" in the CPM and
it works perfectly.

No.

The CPM model stipulates that the template/view is irrelevant
and only the content object counts.

Obviously, the model is too weak -- but you can change it only
by implementing your own CPM...
