I think 'unspecified' provides a little more clarity than 'left up to the
compositor', but that really is bikeshedding. :)

Even then though, I think you're guaranteeing too much: I'm not sure we
even currently guarantee that timestamps are comparable across all
compositor interfaces.  They certainly have to be comparable per-interface,
but that's it I think.  Kristian?
