Florent Guillaume commented on CMIS-736:
----------------------------------------

It's a SHOULD and not a MUST, and well-behaved HTTP servers (not just CMIS) returning files should really use Entity Tags for efficiency. Why remove a recommendation for good practices?

> CMIS 1.0 recommends the support of ETAGs (section "3.2.1 Entity Tag"). The implementation in the context of CMIS is rather difficult and in some cases impossible. Since ETAGs are not supported by many CMIS repositories today and almost no CMIS client takes advantage of them, I would like to remove them from CMIS 1.1.
