Yes, I'll do that.

But why not allow expiry dates less than Period? For example, I want to
set the Expires header only for pages which need to be expired right
away or which need to stay in web caches for a certain amount of time.
For other pages, I set Last-Modified. So the browser or search engine
can refetch the page if it has expired or ask the server if there is a
more recent version available.

Most static content never expire, but the HTTP/1.1 standard says
servers SHOULD NOT send expiry dates more than a year in the future.
The document (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html)
also says that "never expires" mean one year from the date of request.
