Re: [ddlm-group] Minor change to DateTime DDLm type

Thank you for the clarification.  If I understand the history correctly, the problem is not the definition of the time stamp, but the accuracy of the information in the time stamp reported.
If we are in DDL2 this would be a perfect for use of _ESD.  Then we could record an estimated
uncertainty of a few milliseconds for a time stamp controlled by the network time protocol, or a few minutes for a time stamp handled by somebody's old hand-set rolex or Hamilton railroader, or a year or two for data scrapped from a pubiished journal.  No new definitions would be required, and the scientific record would be as accurate as it is feasible for us to make it.
