10 microsecond latency doesn't say anything about how accurate the time has 
to be.

Does anybody have a good URL on the accuracy requirements of banks and/or 
stock markets?  I expect there are both legal and technical issues.  I'd like 
to understand them separately but I won't be surprised if they are thoroughly 
tangled.
