Re: Page lifespan?

Is there some HTML way of setting a lifespan on a webpage on creation so
that, should the creator neglect to remove it, browsers will not render it?

If not should such a mechanism exist?
Perhaps with page expired message?

Per RFC 2616, it is possible to set an expiration date for a page. This
can be done via
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 2008 08:21:57 GMT">

However, that has no real effect on the existence of the page. It only
affects caching.
