I decided to agree with Glenn at the first time. But after some
thinking became to the following. Time and time difference have the
same meaning in phisical terms. But lftp use term "time" as calendar
term but not phisical one. Difference between two calendar times is
exactly phisical time. In contrary to Alexander's observation, time
difference can be converted to human readable form but by different
way because it does not have starting point.
