I seem to remember there was discussion some time back about getting a
"confidence indicator" in NTP packets. 

This example makes that all the more important if people like google are
exposing non UTC compliant data outside their firewall. 

I was not monitoring the time{1,2,3,4}.google.com servers, but since
seeing your mail on the subject I checked the offsets and found at
09:00UTC they were out near 0,05 secs, only getting into the ms/us range
at 12:00UTC. 

They shouldn't be letting them into the public net. Could this be called
temporal terrorism?
