While the current text isn't particularily clear, my reading is that implementations should determine some "epoch" time and set the time- Stamp relative to it for all events. This may but need not be the time you suggest, the system start time is given as another example. I think this is sensible since the implementation does not necessarily have access to the current time or might not want to make it available to applications due to security concerns. When applications do have access to this information, they can easily derive it from a timeStamp by comparing two of them with a given time. Is there a specific reason why you think this should be relative to this specific time? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
