    AbsoluteTimeParameterType do not have alarm elements associated with it. In
    the current schema this may be by design – an example of a usage for an
    alarming absolute time could be helpful. JWST claims to alarm on occurrences
    of reverse time which in fact would probably be a packet ordering issue.

    Not enough information yet to act on AbsoluteTimeDataType alarms

    This issue does not appear to be universally applicable at this time. With some proposals for use cases, it could be re-considered later. In the context of XTCE 1.2 it is chosen to defer this matter to a later time if it comes up again. At present, it does not appear that alarms of this type are needed.
