I'm unsure whether "Expires In" field is useful right now.

On-demand UDP unicast faces have this field, but the value is on the order of 10 seconds, and Face Dataset is generated at most once per 5 seconds, so the displayed value is mostly inaccurate.

But it's good to have them, because they will become more useful after #1285.

UPDATE 2014-08-15 16:02 UTC: The default configuration file sets UDP idle timeout as 600 seconds, so "Expires In" is useful.

There is also a choice on how to display flags:

• display the flags field as one hexadecimal number
  • benefit: less space on webpage
  • drawback: user must lookup code table in order to understand a flag
• display the flags field as one decimal number
  • benefit: less space on webpage
  • drawback: user must convert decimal to binary, which is more difficult than converting hexadecimal to binary
  • drawback: user must lookup code table in order to understand a flag
• display each flag by its name
  • benefit: it's easier to see what the flags mean without using a code table
  • drawback: more space on webpage
• give each flag a column, and show the flag as "Y/N" "X/(empty)" or similar
  • benefit: it's easier to see what the flags mean without using a code table
  • benefit: if webpage is extended to support client-side sorting/filtering, the flag fields can be sorted/filtered
  • drawback: more space on webpage
  • note: the header cell doesn't have to display the full flag name; it can be an abbreviation, with the full name displayed on a tooltip

Currently, RIB Route flags are displayed using the second choice, which I think is a bad idea.

I prefer to display flag fields as the fourth method.
