Perhaps. Also, an indication as to whether or not the system time offset is
real (Ie the system has locked onto a source) or not to determine tht system
time.  One can look for a * in the sources, but it might be easier to look at
the tracking to tell if the time is reasonable.

The ns as part of the word makes it hard to parse. Since it is not reported in
a fixed set of units, one must parse the units (ns, ms, us, s) to determine
the offset automatically, and the lack of a separator makes it just a bit
harder to do so.
