TIME: mention server-time as an alternative

Though I am not sure this is correct in the presence of a bouncer. Bouncers would reply to PING with their own time, while TIME would be forwarded to the server, right?

That's an interesting point about bouncers. If bouncers are expected to forward TIME to the upstream server, I guess we could recommend using the time tag on the RPL_TIME response instead?

Yup.

Do existing servers supporting server-time attach a time tag to the RPL_TIME response?
