Er, probably easier to be generic to all directives that control freshness:

"A recipient cache SHOULD consider a pushed response to be valid for the
duration of the connection (or until it is replaced during that connection)
even if the pushed response contains cache directives that would normally
indicate that the response is immediately stale."
