So the AFS protocol should provide access to the best available snapshot available relative to a point in time. Does that mandate that snapshot generations are best regarded in the protocol as a timestamp per se? I don't believe so. Doing so appears to conflate a temporal search criteria with an ordinal (or opaque identifier). It misbehaves near the maximum resolution, and seems to carry the assumption that all implementations will be producing effectively continuous snapshots.
