Does this need to be set out in the protocol?
If the server returns the old resultset name then the set has been
rewritten.
If the server returns a new resultset name then it is a new set.
As TTL is a hint, then there's no correct answer as to whether the server
should discard the old resultset or not. It can do either perfectly
validly.
