This allows the implementation of a rcltv that doesn't make script depend on the current height, in a similar way that cltv uses the nLockTime (which has been compared with the current height already when checking the script).
In fact, the implementation could be simpler if the goal of maintaining the original nSequence semantics was ignored ( although not that simpler, but you wouldn't need to use ~ (bitwise not).
I'm still not sure whether there should be 2 BIPs for this or just one.
