3.4. Expiration

Robots may cache /apis.* files, but if they do they must periodically verify the cached copy is fresh before using its contents.

These look like they should be MAY and MUST. Why is it the robot’s responsibility to manage checking for refreshes, given that the metadata publisher is entirely in control of this parameter?
