Peter:

You are asking about the signing-time signed attribute.

My comments were about the use of BinaryTime in general.

You are not answering my questions. may I conclude that you have no
application at all at hand? if so, what is the experiment? 

The proposed text concerns a a signing-time attribute.

And that comparison should lead to what result? The signature is too old,
not yet valid? What application are you thinking about? secure NTP?
