I agree. I created the MAPS RSS, and even I know its "never delist
until asked" policy is problematic. Today, if it were up to me, I
would auto-expire listings. I think we need to be careful to not let
this documentation be limited by a need to justify MAPS' current
policy where it may differ from best practice.
