We discussed this last Friday and there was no consensus on making this a syntactical requirement. Verifying SignatureTime presence and/or validity is a matter of policy and as such it should be part of the verification policy.

Adding a required field is a breaking change that requires bumping the version to Packet Format v0.4.
