Mike,

What's the practical advantage of having x=?  What do I get that I
wouldn't get with simply assuming that verifying a message 2 weeks past
the last received header is probably not such a hot idea?

Derivative question:

   What's the practical advantage of having x=?

If the parameter is not present, then a validation might be attempted after the key is no longer valid. So what? Either way, after that time, the validation fails.

So what is the important, incremental benefit of this parameter?
