From Section 3.1:
"expires: A timestamp indicating a time beyond which the score
reported is likely not to be valid. Expressed as the number of
seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00 UTC. See Section 5 for
discussion."
And Section 5:
'A reputon can contain an "expires" field indicating a timestamp after
which the client SHOULD NOT use the rating it contains, and SHOULD'
The "expires" field uses "HTTP-date". It is easier to code for one
timestamp format instead of two (see Unix timestamp in Section 3.1).
In Section 3.1:
"An application service provider might operate with an enhanced form
of common services, which might in turn prompt development and
reporting of specialized reputation information."
I don't see anything actionable in the above.
Why was "specification required" chosen for the Reputation
Applications Registry?
