I thought the NTP stratum 1 reference clocks were about as accurate as one
can get.

Off topic a bit, but one of my installed utilities is an SNTP client that
can use any public time source as a reference clock. I'm using NIST, NASA,
or the USNO depending. Aren't these sources based on the atomic clocks that
claim accuracy of 1 millisecond per century or so?
