I indeed was talking about the Autokey trace. The "problem" with 
ntptrace is that it queries each involved server directly which is not 
what I thought of. Hold on  a second - are we getting off topic a little 
bit? :-)

In regards to the draft I would not change the wording at this stage, 
simply because it has no direct impact on the functionality of the 
protocol and the draft documents what is currently done in 100% of the 
implementation base.
