I think my consumer library is doing this wrong.  I'll go check.  Paul:
let me know what wording and where I should append to the specs.bml page,
if any.

I still don't see the problem with a 60 second valid_to -- the user-agent
should have plenty of time to be redirected with that limit.  But 15
minutes is also fine by me.
