] John, if the implementation is via DNS TXT records, then you already
] have a TTL method built in.
Implementation via DNS may be a major mistake... DNS administrative
authority realms do not overlap with URN authoirty realms, and DNS is
not exactly dynamic at this time.
But, yes, I think that we need to realize that any bindings (URN -> URL,
URC -> URL, etc.) need to have an associated lifetime set by the publisher
or we run the risk of returning information which differs from the intent.
