As the base (RELOAD) draft doesn't require any time synchronization
mechanism, I think, it's not useful to enforce the use of
time synchronization in any other draft. IMHO it's obvious
that you may have advantages if time synch is available;
more important is how you could distinguish from the protocol
if it's used or not.
