It's not (to my knowledge) being considered. In NFSv3 and NFSv4 it really isn't much of an issue anyway, since you can ask the server to directly set atime/mtime/ctime according to its local clock. Time-updates will therefore always be correct, and you can always keep correct time-ordering of files. If you need anything more than that, you should be looking to using xntpd or some such protocol.
Cheers, Trond
