Currently, source-pane will put any found ETag into the If-Match header of its requests.

However, as discussed in solid/specification#340 (comment), servers MUST perform a strong comparison. Hence, when sending any weak ETag, comparison will always fail.

The source pane should thus not use a weak ETag, and perhaps use another semaphore mechanism.
