[time-nuts] wifi with time sync

[walter shawlee 2]

they were really short on hard details about this new technology.
the *WiFi alliance* website only shows this off-site article link I found under 
NEWS:

http://www.rcrwireless.com/20170104/test-and-measurement/20170104test-and-measurementwi-fi-alliance-to-certify-timesync-among-multiple-devices-tag6

the main alliance site is here:
http://www.wi-fi.org/   but I don't see anything helpful other than this
general explanation of TimeSync:
http://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-timesync

but meaty details that might help us are hard to find.

all the best,
walter
