Sorry - my laptop's keyboard screwed me up (really!).
"... nice to have a less strict requirement for IFX, I think."
My post which explained the *reason* for watermarks explains why we
could get away with a less-strict timestamp for IFX. I don't recall if
I made the post to IFX or ietf-fax. In my post, I pointed out that
the date/time stamp used in GSTN-based fax today is generated by
the sender. While a receiver might generate its own date/time stamp,
there is no requirement for the receiver to do so. Thus, the receiver
(the printer in IFX) may not need to generate a timestamp on the output at
all.
