http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11894

           Summary: Eventing/Enum: duration in responses
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: PR
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Eventing
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: dug@us.ibm.com

In SubscribeResponse it says that the expires time (when its a duration)
is the time the subscription will expire based on when the subscription was 
created.

However, when this expires time appears in GetStatusResponse and
RenewResponse its not clear what the duration start-time is.
We should clear up if its the start-time of the Subscription or
of the request message.

If its the start-time of the Subscription then I'm not really
sure how useful this is.  If the client uses GetStatus to get
the expires time then there's a good possibility that they 
don't have the start-time of the subscription - if they did then
I suspect they would know the expires time they got in the 
SubscribeResponse.

Proposal:
We should make the GrantedExpires time (when its a duration) 
into "how much time is left".

This applies to enum too.
