/me looks

If I understand it correctly, you solved the cache response header issue 
by subclassing the resource and resource factory implementations of 
zope.app.publisher.browser.

I guess setting cache response headers for resources could actually be 
factored out of the resource implementation. z3c.versionedresource could 
then make use of that as well.

Hmmm, there's actually an older package called z3c.responseheader that 
does something in that direction - it wouldn't work for resources though 
as they set the cache headers themselves in the GET() and HEAD() methods.

Would it be a good idea to remove setting the cache headers from the 
zope.app.publisher.browser resource implementations and make that more 
pluggable? z3c.versionedresource could then probably get rid of the 
resource subclasses, right?

If people think this is a good idea, I could have a look into it..
