I don't know if this is a problem or not.  TimeToLive is a time, not an
interval, and should probably be set to current time plus 1/2 RetryInterval
(half of the round trip from sender to receiver back to sender).  Won't this
have to be recalculated each retry?  Won't this invalidate the signature?

Maybe I'm getting the correct value of TimeToLive wrong?  What in the world
should this be?  Maybe this is more along the lines of "This PO is valid for 30
days" so this value should be set to current time plus 30 days?  In any case, we
probably need to clarify the spec.
