But why NIST?  The kinds of things we trust them on, aren't the kinds
of things we'd need for a trusted signer.  Why not the Department of
Justice (if this is intended to be court-admissible evidence), or
Defense, or Agriculture?  Why not NASA, the FCC, or clerks of the
United States Supreme Court?

Just pointing out, your entire reason for suggesting NIST - that
NASDAQ uses them - seems to be based on a confusion - what
specifically NASDAQ uses them for (NIST doesn't do the signing in
NASDAQ's case; they just provide the time).
