You'll have to decide between the 2. Either we do strict dts and single 
syncpoint ts, or loose MN rule and several ts's per syncpoint. It is simply 
impossible to have both... (If it is possible, which I doubt, it is very 
very complicated - start by picking the "refernce" ts for the syncpoint)

I vote for MN rule and several ts... It is simpler, and in any sane 
situation, it will only add a SINGLE ts per syncpoint. Having more than one 
delayed stream in a single file is extremely rare...

Also loose MN rule seems to please more people than strict DTS...

Only reason I'm slightly leaning towards single ts is because we already 
made a nice compression for syncpoints and adding several (optional) pts's 
in a compact way would be non trivial...
