I think I heard someone may have wanted something for 'absolute' in the
first type name... would AFSAbsTime, AFSRelTime, and AFSTimeRes be okay?

Also, should I put the "this is not an IETF standard" paragraph
somewhere in the front matter? Does it go in an existing section, or
should I make a new one? That is, this paragraph from the ISE
discussions:
