I think I meant it to be an absolute value from some arbitrary offset  
(perhaps based on the Timeline or whatever). In practice that's not  
nearly as useful as a delta since the last update. So maybe that'd be  
better.

Somehow it seems like passing in a Timeline might be even better idea  
but I'm not 100% sure how that'd work...
