Yes, I thought of that, but there are practical limits to what can be
done for labels that can't be covered by a wildcard.  It's certainly
imperfect.

Perhaps the best thing to do is provide security (privacy)
considerations on the matter.  I think that we can safely scrub the
expiration time.

I think that ideally, I'd like to make the indicator optional.  What
are the consequences for you if some clients follow ALTSVC but don't
provide an indicator?
