So is there a reason an extended union with the various stamp
granularities would be a nonstarter? In particular I'd suggest the
draft strongly discourage
sending a larger timestamp than actual information supports (e.g.
don't use bits to send precision you don't have, rather than
trailing-zero-padding a
larger than needed number)
