I don't know that all interactions would be from a common local filesystem; for example, what if someone wanted to put AFS on top of NFSv4? Also, staying with the main goals of the proposal: i.e., that higher levels of granularity for time are available and that the additional information can be useful to various components in AFS, then if other filesystems already have finer levels of granularity than what is proposed, then the proposed RFC is already out of date, as a replacement RFC would need to be done to increase the level of granularity yet again. i.e., we should future proof this proposal by taking the finest level of granularity in existing filesystems.
