Agreed. Let's remove mshTimeAccuracy from the MS spec (section 10.2.2).

I agree with Chris that the use of
NTP to synchronize clocks at a distance
is something that is suitable for a CPA
and that the use of NTP
or XNTP or whatever could be
advertized in a CPP. I also agree
that putting the mshTimeAccuracy
in the MessageHeader
is definitely excess baggage!
Should be removed.
