This should be a 32 bit value calculated exactly the same
        way that the inception and expire fields of a RRSIG are
        generated.  Seconds since 00:00:00 Jan 1 1970 UTC, excluing
        leap seconds, modulo 2^32.

        This prevents common issues like mis-handling of leap years
        in converting from text to binary.

        This allow clients to use the value directly to initialise
        a clock with a 1 hz freqency for use for DNSSEC validation.
