I'm not aware of a specific document, but I can tell you that timing is
very important.  It's critical if you're trying to provide IMA services on
an AUSM or MPSM or if you're using any VISMs.  Even if you have a solid 
timing design, both the PXM1 and PXM45 have had their share of timing bugs.  
Regarless of the platform, timing is one of the most often neglected aspects
of network design and it is at the heart of a significant number of chronic,
elusive problems.

If you're encountering a specific problem, e-mail me directly with the
details.  I spent about 8 years working with the Stratacom line and I may
be able to help.
