Doesn't the USB protocol have an isochronous mode that guarantees real-
time, predictable communication?  I'm not an USB expert, just
wondering whether it could actually be used for timing purposes, even
if the NMEA message itself is not used, but rather its mere delivery
as a proxy for the timing pulse.
