Not quite, and I was confused here.
``-newer Xt time'' compares the file's X time against the point
in time specified as an argument. The new syntax of -[acm]time
allows to match the files that are _older_ or _newer_ than the
specified amount of time units since the find(1) was run.
For example, ``find / -mtime -1h30m'' will match files that were
modified during the last hour and a half. And of course this
does not replace the functionality of ``-newerX[acm] file''.
To summarize:
-newerX[acm] file compares against <file>
-newerXt time compares against <time>
-[acm]time n[smhdw] compares against NOW{+-}<n>
