 \code{psTimeAdd} adds some time to a \code{psTime}.
 \code{psTimeSubtract} subtracts two times.  \code{psTimeDelta} gives
-the absolute time difference between two times.
+the difference between times \code{time1} and \code{time2} (which may
+be negative).
 
 Time math may only be done on the \code{psTime} TAI type, and so the
 functions shall internally convert the \code{psTime} inputs to TAI
 before performing the math.  The type of the time returned by
-\code{psTimeAdd} shall be the same as that of the input \code{time}.
+\code{psTimeAdd} and \code{psTimeSubtract} shall be the same as that
+of the input \code{time}.
