IMHO, the draft does not specify the semantics of expiration in a way
which would warrant such statement.  I don't believe we can agree on a
specific set of expiration semantics even in the limited circle of
this WG.

BTW, the referenced paper (http://www.counterpane.com/pgp-attack.html)
is definitely worth a read.

That particular change was correcting a typo in the previous draft. It has
nothing to do with the new paper.

Oh, I didn't want to imply *that* (hence "BTW").

I still think that the change is misleading.
