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.

[WEG] +1. I don't know why we're so stressed about something so simple. It's 
minimally a 2 line config. There are publicly available
NTP servers. If we're really worried about NTP being a limiting factor in 
BGPSEC's implementation, we have a *much* larger problem.
