This would be useful in a clustered server environment. This might also fix this issue...
#243115: Hosting Issue - Missing mod_headers: logged out user sees auth pages stored in browser cache if previously authenticated
Apache sets etags for static files, which is what you want for 99% of the sites out there. This would only be useful in a clustered server environment, enabling on anything less would be a slowdown for your website.

well, I told him about all your work and how good you are with this stuff...
I included links to the project, and my thoughts on future usage of the module due the work you have done.
He said, hmmm, It will be in there in a few days.
