Hi,

I'm reading the section in rfc6376 on the x= tag, specifically -

INFORMATIVE NOTE: The "x=" tag is not intended as an anti-replay defense.

Could anyone shed some light on the reasoning for this, by chance? I note
that the spec for x= says "Signatures MAY be considered invalid [if past
expiration]", which isn't particularly strong guidance for how verifiers
should behave, but from my perspective, signature expiration could in
theory be an effective tool (among other defenses) to help reduce the
viability of replays.

Thanks,
-Evan
