Only the most ultimate time freaks who've replaced their PC's crystal with an atomic clock can tell the difference (I'm pretty bad, but not that bad) :-). I'd hope that only folks either running a local radio clock, or a low- stratum NTP peer, would offer their system's time as a community standard. However, this would be a really nice service for Internet- connected folks to offer to their UUCP-only neighbors.
