Good idea, and the "problem" is the refid is a 32-bit structure.

Its purpose is for loop detection - to make sure machine A doesn't
believe time from machine B if machine B is getting its time from A.

I've had some chats with Prof. Mills about this and we're gently
discussing changing the refid value for non-refclock sources to a simple
nonce.
