Subject: Re: [cti] timestamp proposal for STIX 2.0 RC3
I am not sure which I would prefer between 2 and 4. But I strongly dislike not giving bounds to numbers. If we do this, then all of our digital signatures in the future will probably break. For example, if you send me a date that has pico-seconds and I can only understand micro-seconds and thus drop that precision on the floor, then the digital signatures will FAIL.
It is such common practice in standards bodies to not only give guidance but to also give limits and bounds to content, that I can not see why we would not do this here.
Further, ballots that have results at a near 50/50 or I would go as far as 60/40 result, are probably saying that we need to do more work to figure the issue out. It is my belief in a standards body that a simple majority is just saying that the community is radically divided on the issue and we should go back and work to find a solution that works for the majority of people.
