I don't disagree, but the document seemed to be saying that the TTL was
one day either way.

An argument could be made that the NSEC records positively exist and would be 
cached for
their full TTL.  Quoting the draft:


3.  Generating negatives responses from NSEC

   ...

   So, if a resolver generates negative answers from an NSEC record, it
   will not send any queries for names within that NSEC range (for the
   TTL).  If a new name is added to the zone during this interval the
   resolver will not know this.
