Having been a participant on Standards Working Groups, I understand completely. Regulations, like Standards, need to be written to apply to as wide a population as possible. Do those regulations dictate how you monitor drift? For example, can you have a system (I would use CentOS) that syncs to the appliance as well as NIST and your inside NTP sources, and use ntpq(8) to read the drift directly?
