What we need is clarification of the maximum offset of any server from UTC(NIST). Some description of the syncronization algorithm used would also be nice. (Large discontinuities in a time scale are evil.)
I really, really don't like this idea: "Put your own central server on the web and use urlfetch() to get timestamp/invoice numbers. " NIST is in fact working on a time service using port 80, but it won't be ready before my application's rollout. I'm currently using the GAE server time, and my tests show that it agrees with UTC(NIST) within the uncertainty of my measurements. I'd just like an 'official' clarification.
