How do other implementations deal with this?  Thoughts?

If we live in an asynchronous messaging world with no global time
concept, then the sender is free to hand out back-dated signatures. The
receiver can't tell the difference between in-transit delay and
back-dating. This can be used on purpose by the sender to induce some
tolerance at the receiver side.
