Hello,
I have just reviewed Date and Time on the Internet:Timestamps <draft-ietf-impp-datetime-05.txt>. Are there any accuracy considerations with respect to these timestamps? Do they need to be accurate to some level of precision (minutes, seconds?) or is the standard attempting to define a format only? Section 4.4 Unqualified Local Time asserts machines using local time MUST synchronize with a UTC source. NTP is asserted as a mechanism to obtain UTC and it follows that this introduces some degree of accuracy. Should this be defined? I am very interested in your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Paul Skoog
