Dear QUIC WG,

First a moment of unforgivable pedantry. Universal time is
unfortunately not the right name for UTC, which is slightly different.
It could also mean UT1 or some other variations  It's also not clear
what the future of computer timekeeping is and I know several places
don't synchronize to UTC internally. I think the best way to handle
this is to say something like "synchronized" and leave open as to
exactly how that is done.

I agree with the comments that there are too many options and should
be fewer. Other then that I didn't see any problems but I'm probably
too sleepy right now to spot them.

Sincerely,
Watson Ladd
