Subject: Timestamp: precision - use REAL

The "precision  INTEGER -- 8 bits" field of TSTime is weird, and
unnecessarily so.  We want to express the +/- uncertainty in a time value so
the appropriate syntax is REAL.
P.S. why bother with a TSTTime structure, 2 fields in TSTInfo would do.

TSTinfo ::= SEQUENCE {
	...
	time		GeneralizedTime,
	uncertainty	REAL  OPTIONAL, -- UTC = time +/- uncertainty (in
seconds)
	...
}
