Determining RSS refresh rates

Determining RSS refresh rates

Do all RSS feeds support HTTP ETags/last-modified headers for indicating
whether the feed has been updated?
For feeds which do not include last-modified headers, what is the best way
of determining how often the feed updates?
I'm hoping to tailor the number of requests I send to each feed based on
its update frequency to cut down on bandwidth (following ~2k feeds...)
