Julian wondered..

wouldn't it make sense to have a default for max-age so it
can be made OPTIONAL?

hm ... I lean towards keeping max-age as REQUIRED (without a default value)
and thus hopefully encouraging deployers to think a bit about this and its
ramifications, and also because its value is so site-specific in terms of a
web application's needs, deployment approach, and tolerance for downside
risk of breaking itself.

Understood. I just wanted to make sure that the simplification was considered.

Makes sense to me.  Chrome currently ignores the header if the server
doesn't specify a max-age.

Well yes, the spec says that it's invalid.

Best regards, Julian
