Thanks a lot for your replies. But as you can see from my comments below
this all does not look like a valid option for many embedded use cases.

I would really appreciate if WG can further elaborate on this issue.
There are many real-life communities with embedded-device deployments
that would be looking forward to use WG.
Could you also comment on the described approach (see again at the end
of the mail) of allowing (maybe as an alternative) a sequence number
instead of a timestamp?
