Hm - I'm a bit confused about how to convert NTP timestamps into this 
format:

The|DOMHighResTimeStamp| 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/hr-time/#sec-DOMHighResTimeStamp>type is used to 
store a time value measured relative to the|navigationStart| 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#dom-performancetiming-navigationstart>attribute 
of the|PerformanceTiming| 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#performancetiming>interface[NavigationTiming] 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/hr-time/#NavigationTiming>, the start of 
navigation of the document, or a time value that represents a duration 
between two|DOMHighResTimeStamps| 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/hr-time/#sec-DOMHighResTimeStamp>.

I think we'll have to store the base somewhere and make explicit 
reference to it; Performancetiming.navigationStart doesn't seem terribly 
relevant.

Having the base be different for different objects solves the "NTP clock 
skew" problem (but does raise a few other issues).
