A couple more things...
First, it probably should be clarified that replace_after_s (or
expires_in, if it's renamed) is an integer represented in human-readable
base 10. That's probably the obvious thing to assume, but it's better
to make it explicit.
Second, I'd change the wording for the note on that field, regardless of
what it's named, to something like this:
"The server should not honor this association after this number of
seconds has passed. The consumer should create a new association at
that point instead of attempting to re-use this one."
The use of "should not" is a bit awkward as it's RFC-like language, but
I think it's closest to the intended meaning without sounding as vague
as "probably won't", which was my second choice for the wording.
