[Servercert-wg] Seeking endorsers: Ballot SC-XX: Measure all hours and days to the second

[Aaron Gable]

Hi Martijn,

Good point! I'm actually going to take this in a slightly different
direction, though: replacing "shall be" with "is". Since this is a
definition rather than a standalone requirement, I think phrasing it as a
simple statement of truth is even clearer.

The PR has been updated and the updated redline is at
https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/90a98dc7c1131eaab01af411968aa7330d315b9b...510e130166d948a7c00fb29e355b768ead6f0bbe

Thanks!
Aaron
