RE: [dhcwg] behavior on lifetime expiration (Re: comments ondraft-ietf-dhc-lifetime-01.txt)

I'd vote for "Refresh Time Option". I have no problem renaming this and I do
how we keep it simple - client should refresh its data when the time elapses
(note that this doesn't preclude the client from doing it earlier if it has
a good reason to do so).
