[JDEV] Message timestamping and route tracking

[Jeff]

	Forgive my foolishness, but couldn't we use something like they
use on IRC for ping times?  They use the number of seconds from Jan 1,
1970 (or something, I am not sure whenthe date is) GMT to calculate dates
andn times.  This way, we don't have to deal with time zones or anything
like that.  Granted each instance of Jabber would have to know which time
zone it was in, or what the current time in Greenwich is, but I think this
a relativly small problem compared with all of the complication involved
withi the other methods discussed.
