I think that the choice of a credentials timeout may have been an unfortunate one, and think that the example should be omitted from the text in the standard. One has only to read the CGI newsgroup or ask people who develop applications to run over the Web to know how often people want this - they want to be able to explicitly flush credentials. It is an easy thing to do. Yes, it won't work with old browsers, but neither will a number of other 1.1 innovations; we should just do the right thing now and get on with it.
