Description
It tells to googlebot if a content is going to expire.

Good suggestion. But the content can be extended, so the expiry time is just tentative.
#2
The date in the meta tag should change when the content get renewed
#3
Yes, but isn't it too late a that point? Google will not check the page anymore and it will exclude it from search results. Is there a way to ping the search bot and tell it to reconsider the value of unvailable_after?
#4
I don't think that google check the page anymore, if you delete de meta tag, the googlebot (i think) should index it again, how long it takes? I don't know ;-)
We could set the date for the meta tag 1 or 2 days later (or more) than the Auto Expire one, it gives time to the users to renew it before googlebot remove it.
Sorry for my english, but this kind of subordinated sentences are too complicated to me.

Fair enough, I'll look into adding this feature.
