Yep.  And as we went though this rat hole in New Orleans we concluded
that the proper way to do that would be to add an attribute to the
requesting context: "requested-duration", or something to that effect,
of the duration type and base your policy off that.

PDP can generally make a decision for a particular state of context, (or
for a countable set of such states) - not for a continuum of time or
other values.
