The extension and the wiki page has been updated. It now resolves this issue with multiple revisions having the same timestamp, by returning an 'HTTP/1.1 300 Multiple Choices' with the list of revision URIs that has the same timestamp. -Harihar

I'd say it is, if sufficiently precise :) If not, either use the lowest/highest rev_id, or the user could be asked to choose a version.
Seems like a non-issue. User requests the page as it was on the 18th of december 2006, at 16:45:12 UTC. Which of two (or more versions of the page) stored within that second is returned is academic, isn't it? If they know there are two versions and want to refer to a specific one, they should use a rev_id, not a time.
