True. We had an issue with one of our own domains that has persisted
longer. So I think this argues agains an maximum duration for all NTAs,
and simply some TTL that the DNS admin can set (which could vary by
domain). The other alternative is to leave this question completely to
implementers, where some will set a max duration for all NTAs, others will
choose a TTL that varies by domain, and others still may not specify any
times (in force until removed).
