[note: Resolved my own discuss now that I see that deleting can be done using a delete command using dns-sd-srp]

  The Update Lease option SHOULD specify a time interval that is no
        shorter than 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Requestors MAY specify a
        shorter lease if they anticipate that the records being updated
        will change sooner than 30 minutes.

I feel this section tries to impose a restriction that it immediately breaks.
As implementer there is nothing I can do with this section except ignore this
text. 




        If the Update Lease of a resource record elapses without being
        refreshed, the server MUST NOT return the expired record in
        answers to queries. The server MAY delete the record from its
        database.

The meaning here is open to interpretation. If the record is in the "database",
one could assume it is also being served. And if the record must not be returned
why is there a MAY to keep it in a "database". I think the second sentence is better
just removed and left to implementations to handle.

I concur with Warren's comment (and by extension, Paul's confusion).  I would go further and question use of SHOULD here, at least because I have no idea what the threat to interoperability is if I don't do what it says.  My gut feeling is that this shouldn't use SHOULD (or any of those key words) at all.

That there are three of us asking questions about this tempts me to make it a DISCUSS, but this falls just short of something for which I want to hold up publication.

Thank you for writing this document. I'd also like to explicitly thank David Lawrence for the comprehensive DNSDIR review (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/review-ietf-dnssd-update-lease-07-dnsdir-lc-tale-2023-06-14/ ), and for the followup during a natural disaster!

Like Paul Wouters I find the "the Update Lease interval should be at least 30 minutes, unless you really want it to be shorter" text to be suboptimal, but I do understand what you are trying to say.
How about something like: "By default, the minimum Update Lease option SHOULD be no shorter than 1800 seconds (30 minutes). If the requestor anticipates that the records being updated will change sooner than 30 minutes it MAY choose a shorter interval. Requestors that expect the updated records to be relatively static SHOULD request appropriately longer leases."
This says basically the same thing, but the "By default" clause seems to make it less jarring. As this is a "No Objection" ballot, feel free to ignore this suggestion...
