What purpose would intermediate hop timestamps serve ?

If a message from A goes via B and C to reach D, is the time it passed
through B and C important, compared with the time it was sent from A ?
Given that the time of the event is usually what we care about, is the
receiving time at D important ?

I suspect this might be more of an issue for people with cross-timezone
problems, where you want to know if a message was sent by a host at 3am
or you only want to be paged for things received between 12am and 11am.

Comments ?
