Marcel already gave compelling use-cases for why he wants
finer-grained timestamps.  But that doesn't mean we have to print the
fine resolution in the browsers -- printing is independent of internal
representation, so "reads nicer" does not need to be an issue, we can
keep the same print format.

I'm failing to understand why anyone would be against more precision
internally..  You don't have to use it, it doesn't hurt anything if
its there, does it?
