Does anyone expire based on absolute time? In those cases, is it
difficult to compute the duration until that time occurs? If it

Of course it's not hard - but it seems silly to implement it in
every client library or - worse - in every application that needs
it. Is it hard for the server to do?
Well, that was the first part of the question. Does anyone use it?
Right now, it seems even more complicated for the client. If I want
to cache something for 45 days, I have to calculate what the date
will be in 45 days since the meaning changes at 30 days.
