What about "caching" a TST before TTC or CTT? The TST basically tells at minimum "statement not younger than time in TST". By retrieving a TST and then using it later, you can shift that point "more into the past". That is probably is a threat, too?

In CTT that can't happen unless you can predict the COSE signature, i.e., the content of the datum.

Sorry, I don't understand this. You are making a similar point in #25 which I am also failing to grok. To me, a timestamp asserts the existence of a datum at least at the point in time when the timestamp for that datum is created. I cannot fathom an attack in which pushing the existence of the datum back in time is an attack on the intended use of the datum.
