No, what I meant was that the data sheets didn't have any total lifetime 
specs.

If the aging is 1 ppm per year and the APR says 50 ppm, how many years does 
that cover?

Suppose they used 10 years.  If you are designing for  20 years then you have 
to subtract another 10 years of aging so you only get an APR of 40 ppm.

Hopefully, their APR spec covers an infinite lifetime.  If so, there is a 
hidden spec, something like aging gets lower with age so the tail after 10 
years is lost in the noise of other stuff.  But I didn't find any hints like 
that in any of the app-notes I looked at.  (and I'm a suspicious old-fart, 
aka nit-picker when reading data sheets)
