Actually they don't.  TTL are relative times.  RRSIGs contain
absolute time.

TTLs say delete this in X seconds.
RRSIGs say stop believing this a YYYYMMSSHHMMSS.

If your clock is a day fast (a very real failure senario) it has
NO impact on how the TTL is interpreted.  It has a big impact on
how the RRSIG values are interpreted.
