The obvious compromise would be to change the behavior only in the presence of the ".POSIX:" special target.
We should limit ".POSIX" to what POSIX requires. Even if the ruling stands POSIX won't require the HP-UX behavior, so ".POSIX" should be independent of this issue.
It'd be OK to introduce a new special target to enable the HP-UX behavior. .EQUAL_TIMES_ARE_OUT-OF-DATE, say. We could document the new target next to .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, since they're related issues. The new target could act like .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, except that it imposes HP-UX rather than low-res behavior.
