Yes on #1, I don't care on #2, and rfc1305 is about to be obsoleted if I
understand things correctly, and with our almost resolved flap over the
"state" variable I need either a pending or an active RFC that will
address the issue of "how can we determine if an instance of NTP
believes it is 'OK' or not, and exactly what is meant by 'OK'?"
