You got there just ahead of me.  I had the same reaction.

Not that timestamp info doesn't seen like an interesting feature, but it 
hasn't been discussion and, so far, isn't in any of the existing 
examples we've seen.

Timestamps seem like such a strong benefit to make it worth considering 
how to add this capability to the spec.  Yes?

Or is the Received field sufficient?  Easy to believe it is.
