Comment:

 So, the "malformed or out of bounds" warning seems to happen if you
 specify *any* interval that's over INT_MAX seconds long [approx 68 years].
 I don't know whether it makes more sense to document that as a maximum for
 all the various intervals, or whether it makes more sense to treat super-
 long intervals for stuff like SigningKeyLifetime as meaning "forever".

 I don't have easy answers for the other questions; does anyone else?
