Comment (by gk):

 FWIW: Firefox has an own mechanism to detect clock skew because of
 certificate invalidation concerns, see:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1339329. It might be not
 fine-grained enough for our purposes but I figured I should mention it at
 least for completeness sake.
