I stand correct -- I think it was 'supposed to' ;-) Sorry, I've seen various
revisions of this paper some of which in my recollection had relative time
interfaces. So let me say it another way: I believe a relative time interface
should be offered here in addition to the absolute time. So I'm not sure what
happened there -- Howard may have talked me out of it somehow or maybe it was
accidentally dropped...
