Makes you wonder. Why is the concept of expiration required? Did the IETF expire, die? Did its value as an Organization go down and only valid on a year to year basis?

It just seem so arbitrary for one to certify another and say to the world come X day, you are no longer the same trusted entity when what he is really saying "He didn't pay me like he suppose to every yet" Does that imply the IETF is now downgraded, in debt and can not be trusted?

All rhetorical questions. After all, they did "Invent" it. It should be free to the IETF. :)

Just consider there are some in the DKIM arena who wanted for the x= expiration tag to be deprecated and removed.
