that is why beaconing is said to provide only a certain measurable and
controllable freshness guarantee.  no surprise there.

would you explain why this would reduce the window?

e.g., if 2 signs with a time and 3 signs with a time, 3 can still replay
within 2's window, which one presumes is about as wide as 1's window.
no gain, non-trivial pain.
