Thanks for your codes indeed. I posted it here because I thought only 
people have high developing skill care about whether their web 
pages are up-to-date to their readers and so care the HTTP Last-modified 
header. And why don't you think this issue is not for Zope developers?
Dosen't Zope care about readers getting the accurate information?

Although I'm new to Zope, I'm not new to mailing list. I know the 
mailing list rule but I just don't agree with your classification of my 
question. 

I'll post the next develope-with-zope issue to that list.

I think it isn't a bad thing DTML doing this for me. At least the 
Last-modified header can refelect the template modification time.
