6.11.  Expires

   The  Expires-header specifies a date and time when the article is
   deemed to be no longer relevant and  could usefully  be removed
   ("expired"). The content syntax makes use of syntax defined in [RFC
   2822].

      header              =/ Expires-header
      Expires-header      = "Expires" ":" SP Expires-content
                     *( ";" extension-parameter )
      Expires-content     = date-time

        NOTE: This header is suitable for specifying both unusually
        short and unusually long expiry times; there is little point in
        using it in other circumstances.

-   An Expires-header should only be used in an article if the requested
-   expiry time is earlier or later than the time typically to be
-   expected for such articles. Local policy for each serving agent will
-   dictate whether and when this header is obeyed and posters SHOULD NOT
-   depend on it being completely followed.
