The smallest Max-Age we can represent is 1 second. This seem too large for many situations given many of things that involved human actions and perception you would not want to cache this long. For example, the value of a light switch. Yet on the other hand, not cacheing the value at all could be really bad for some systems - particular in design where a multicast signal causes many devices to simultaneously go and fetch the current value of some other resource. What do people think of changing the Max-Age resolution from 1  second to 10 ms?
