I understand your concern, but I don't see why it should be disallowed.
The administrator should be able to figure out what's reasonable in
hers/his environment.

To use the DNS ttl analogy, there's nothing stopping you from setting
a needlessly large ttl value either.

As for the minimum time. I think 600 is small enough, but I don't see
any harm in making it smaller if you or others see a potential need.
I think the minimum should be in the order of minutes, but I don' have
a strong opinion on the exact value.
