Does anyone expire based on absolute time? In those cases, is it difficult to compute the duration until that time occurs? If it is, can it be the job of the clients to provide this shortcut?
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?
The time-zone argument doesn't make any sense - that's the task of the client to figure out anyway. If the client has a hard time figuring out the unix epoch but "in how many seconds is that?" is easy to calculate then it can already do that.
