I agree with this conclusion.  This seems like a questionable parameter
in the first place; how often would an administrator want to set an
absolute expiration time for a realm?  It seems like a relative time
would have made more sense.  Regardless, the documentation should not
specify a default that doesn't parse, and the error message when it
doesn't parse should be specific.
