I strongly disagree with your "terminology", TTL is a hint about maximum
caching period, not a demand or a contract.
A resolver can at any time for any reason discard cached entries.
Many Authoritative operators have "unreasonable" TTL's like less than 10
seconds or multiple days and I see no reason why resolvers do not
apply minimal and/or max caching rules that are reasonable.
