Guys, I realize I'm stepping in near the end of this thread, but isn't one of the core problems here, that Patrick was bringing up, the use of the word "validity"? I mean, it confuses even me to say that when the document expires, it's not longer valid, because if I think of XML validity, that's obviously ridiculous.
But if by "valid" we mean what Scott intends - the contents can no longer be presumed to be authoritative -- then I think if we are going to use the word "valid" we should spell that out.

Okay, after thinking about it a bit, I realized that I was confusing the
XRD 1.0 spec with the XRI Resolution 2.0 spec on grounds of what SHOULD or
SHOULD NOT be done. The two are different types of specs.
I agree (again :) that something as simple as, "The document is no longer
valid after the date in <Expires>" WOULD work.
