Which was my point about adding a resolution/interval. There's a
difference between "2011-06-17 00:00:00" and "2011-06-17/P1D" (both
technically, and in court).

Leaving my hands off the "timestamp-only" part of the thread, does
anyone have objections to "timestamp-interval" in the ISO 8601
interval format? In my head, it would be a non-critical field (as it
doesn't change the meaning of the signature, only the accuracy of the
timestamp field).

Thoughts?
