if we want crypto level assurance, do you have a suggestion other than
x.509, which depends on low precision time?

for x.509 level assurance, what kind of precision does one actually
need?  my guess is on the order of hours.  so we may not want to
specifically abjure ntp, but rather express some bounds on the
precision one wants.

btw, from talking to largish operators, ntp is on all non-trivial
routers.  heck, it's even on 2511s i use for some remote oob serial
craft port access.  i am less sure of customers' edge routers.
