[webrtc-pc] RTCStats timestamp source ambiguous

jesup has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc:

== RTCStats timestamp source ambiguous ==
RTCStats has a timestamp member -- "has a timestamp value [...] 
associated with this object".  It's somewhat unclear what the source 
of this timestamp should be - perhaps the time the data returned for 
the child object of RTCStats was last updated.  Even that has some 
ambiguity in the case of remote RTP stats - is it the time they were 
measured (NTP time from the RTCP packet they came in on), or the time 
they were received locally?

Currently in Firefox we use the RTCP NTP time.  I haven't reviewed 
where we get the timestamp values for other stats.

We could expand this definition slightly, or push that down to the 
Stats spec to define for each derived dictionary what 
RTCStats.timestamp should be sourced from.
