This is described in the extended PGN notation document, which linked to in my 
first mail about this item. This extension is created by people from ChessBase, 
Chess Assistant, DGT and others. Although is seems to be a proposal, it is 
widely used within the computer chess programs and databases.

In OTB, FIDE rules, your allowed to add the time on your notation form. Most 
players I know who do add the clock time to their notation, don't do it for 
every move but every fifth or tenth move.
