From the definition of _**Subscription**_ in section 1: > Subscriptions may (at the hub's decision) have expiration times akin to DHCP leases which must be periodically renewed. This contradicts the rest of the specification. > **hub.lease_seconds** > Hubs MUST supply this parameter when hub.mode is set to "subscribe". > Hubs MUST enforce lease expirations, and MUST NOT issue perpetual lease durations.
