Why would you think that? The semantics of x= say nothing about those semantics:
       Signature expiration in seconds-since-1970 format
       as an absolute date, not as a time delta from the signing
       timestamp.  Signatures MUST NOT be considered valid if the
       current time at the verifier is past the expiration date.
If you *want* the semantics to mean 'don't count on being able to verify this message after this date', that's fine, but you need to ask the WG to change the document for that to happen.
