Part of the difficulty in naming this one is that it seems to be doing
triple-duty for notApplicable as well as notSupported and notAvailable.
It's unclear whether the distinction would actually be useful, so as long
as everyone agrees that "unavailable" includes these cases, I'd be happy.

Since DateAndTime is already used this way (and has been for a long time)
I don't see the value of adding a new TC.  However, it might make sense
to see if we could agree on an erratum for RFC 2579.
