Out of curiosity, what would be the consequences of a steadily increasing phase error? Would it offend your sense of perfection or would it have real consequences? Phase error wouldn't bug me. My worst fear is that the 10.000000 MHz standard might be 10.000002 MHz. I need to implement something that is at least relatively simple or best case, automatic.
Steadily increasing phase error is to let there be a frequency error. Frequency is the derivate of phase, so it comes with the territory.
So a 200 ns per second phase drift would provide a frequency error of 2 Hz on your 10 MHz. Can't have one without the other.
