The question has not been answered satisfactorily by any of the
responses to date. Let me rephrase: where in the document set does it
state that a system MUST/should/may support simultaneous specification
of seconds/kbytes for SA lifetimes, terminating the SA depending upon
which limit is reached first? I see a reference to multiple lifetimes in
DOI (section 4.5.2), but this is just parsing info, and does not contain
any language indicating the implementation status (must/may/should). I
see no other references.
