temporary / temp in-session expiration?

Hi Folks,
I'm a very happy noscript user (thanks!) but I'm running into a use-case that might be better handled. First, I believe that temporarily whitelisting a site lasts until a browser restart. I run a desktop machine that rarely reboots and a firefox session that can go days or weeks between restarts. I'd prefer that the sites I temporarily whitelist only remained so for a short time (hour or two) but looking at how about:config noscript.temp is stored (one long string) I'm guessing that the information needed for implementing such a timeout isn't being stored. I know that I could "Revoke Temporary Permissions" whenever I start or stop browsing, but it would be nice if either that happened automatically within a certain period of idleness or individually per temporary whitelist item based on how long it's been in the whitelist.
Thanks,
Matt
