Offhand, I like Expiry-Date. I don't like Expires because NetNews

But since Expiry-Date is a MIXER field, I should probably go dig out my
X.400 docs and check the X.400 definition to see if what we want is

thought to be relevant.
Perhaps some of the controversy here is due to conflating these two things.
