In my opinion, this is a case of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). Barring
|
|
the invention of time machines, either the client or the server has the
|
|
wrong time.
|
|
|
|
The server is free to do as it pleases in such a case. I think that your
|
|
idea of coercing to current time is a fine idea that would probably give
|
|
the best user experience.
