Michael,
Yes, the client doesn't lease events, only Per-Printer Subscriptions. So a
new term would be ok too as you suggest and not confuse the reader with the
Subscription Object Lease time. So we would change the terms in IPPGET
from:
Event Notification Lease: The lease that is associated with an Event
Notification. When the lease expires, the Printer discards the associated
Event Notification.
Event Notification Lease Time: The expiration time assigned to a lease that
is associated with an Event Notification.
Event Notification Lease Duration: The duration in seconds of a lease that
is associated with an Event Notification.
to more simply:
Event Notification Life: The time in seconds that an Event Notification
lives before the Printer discards the Event Notification.
So change the name from "ippget-event-time-to-live" to "ippget-event-life
and the terms?
Tom

Um, maybe we can simplify the name/terminology: ippget-event-life?
We *are* talking about the lifetime of an event, not a lease
time for a subscription (the lease terminology makes sense for
subscriptions because you ask for a subscription for a specific
time period, but events are generated by the printer and aren't
"leased" by the client, right?)
