Yes. That's why you still need the sender=<email address> extension.
Anyways, I feel pretty safe using a resolution that's on the order of one day. But for people really worried about collisions, that's one thing that you can do. Even if the date in the stamp stays with a one-day resolution, you can add a time value as an extension.

OK, it doesn't have to be sequential then. Use a pseudo-random number generator with a large cycle length and that depends on your own secret key.
(of course, having this "counter" also requires that hashcash save the seed/counter value between runs, which probably should be avoided.)
