I never assumed ds/dt = const. Rather I calculated ds/dt and found it not surprisingly positive, which I concluded was insufficient to show ds/dt would eventually be > c. AG

Hubble's law or something equivalent is necessary to give more definition to the problem.  The balloon model does the same as Hubble's law; it posits that the expansion preserves proportions, i.e.  if s=>s+ds then n*s=>n*s +n*ds.
