> My only remaining concern at this point is whether there should be a =
clause that says decoders may discard nested clock quality attributes =
within the Uncertainty and Guarantee attributes. My decoder will discard =
them regardless of what the RFC says, but I guess that doesn't matter to =
anyone much while it remains closed-source.

You can always pretend to not understand them =E2=80=94 they are =
elective...
(But we could make this more explicit.)

> What about the ability to encode a local time having an unspecified =
time zone? The C++ std::chrono::local_time duration is computed from the =
date time of day the same way as std::chrono::sys_time (POSIX), except =
that the time zone is unspecified instead of UTC. All that would be =
needed is a "Local" time scale to be added to the time scale registry. I =
already understand that you want to launch the time tag RFC with only =
the UTC and TAI time scales for now.

As was discussed over in SEDATE as well, there even are some noises that =
NTPv5 might adopt such a locally defined time scale (naysayers =
notwithstanding that argue that NTP can only be used internet-wide where =
such a locally defined time scale would not apply).
