relativedate: Deal with clock skew.
If the server has a clock running a bit ahead of the web browsing client, relativedate could cause somewhat confusing displays like "3 seconds from now" for just posted things. As a hack, avoid displaying times in the future if they're less than a small slip forward. I chose 30 minutes because both client and server could be wrong in different directions, while it's still close enough that "just now" is not horribly wrong.master
