The wording is consistent with Section 4.1.2 of draft-ietf-babel-rfc6126bis:

   Relative times are carried as 16-bit values specifying a number of
   centiseconds (hundredths of a second).

It then goes on to justify this somewhat unusual choice of units:

   This allows times up to roughly 11 minutes with a granularity of 10ms,
   which should cover all reasonable applications of Babel

I agree, a parenthetical remark to define the unit would be helpful,
simlarly to what is done in rfc6126bis.
