It would not work reliable since for example, IE6 shows the login dialog
with previously entered user name and password when the stale flag is set 
to false. I've seen logout links only in web applications using non-HTTP
authentication so far. 
However I think a new published property that allows to set the lifetime
of the nonce could be a improvement.
