No strong objections, really, but bear in mind that people will likely
want to customise this.

With plone.caching / plone.app.caching we have a framework that, among
other things, deals with browser resources and sets etag,
last-modified and other headers according to rules configured by the
developer and/or administrator.

I think that would just stomp on etags set by zope.browserresource,
but worth bearing in mind that for bigger applications like Plone, we
need a centralised, overarching and configurable strategy for cache
headers.
