Are there any documented cases where that would help?

It seems to me that the real problem is convincing a jury that a prior piece of work is related to a patented piece of work.

yes you might be right, NIST standardized timestamping methods are themselves full of patents. And I believe Jury would accept only those + a certified authority which would want to be testify in front of Jury.

I think you've missed my point. I'm saying that the problem isn't the TIME of the prior art, it is proving to a civilian jury that prior art relates to a patent.
