I would expect it, however, to detail the primary reasons for making
such decisions. The ones I've outlined are, based on the list
discussions, the primary reasons.

I don't see how this is true. For instance:

   +--3--+
1--2     5
   +--4--+

Where 1 is originating a route towards 2, and 2 towards 3 and 4. If the
link between 2 and 3 fails, or 2 changes its policy, it must wait the
duration of 1's timer before being assured 3 cannot continue to
advertise the route. From 2's perspective, it has no ability to control
the speed at which it can effectively implement policy or prevent replay
attacks.

This is unacceptable. The timer must be per hop.
