Are you saying that Zope sends the last-modified date to the browser
based on the actual modification date of the dtml page?

If so, it seems to me that Zope should have it's own time stamp which it
uses for its own internal processes, and you should have an option of
either using that date for last-modified, or for using a user defined
variable.
