Les

This is very much path related and thus it is entirely reasonable to 
carry it in the IGP.

If you want a path that gives you the highest quality time transfer, 
then you need to select a path on which every hop provides the 
information needed to minimise the uncertainly in the transit delay 
time. Thus I can see paths being chosen on the basis that every hop 
performs this service. That is obviously a routing decision and thus it 
is reasonable to advertise the information needed to make that decision 
in the routing protocol.
