I know Harlan Stenn of the Network Time Foundation is working on a new timestamp API and presented a paper at the conference: Requirements for UTC and Civil Timekeeping on Earth A Colloquium Addressing a Continuous Time Standard University of Virginia, Charlottesville, May 29-31, 2013. http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/futureofutc/ The slides are on that site, and I would bet that the paper could be made available. In any case, since I think any kind of new time API idea would benefit from review and acceptance from the NTP and BSD people.
