Sure, those are good tips. Much appreciated! I don't mind taking it from=20
there (though I probably can't do it quickly). I think my need in this case=
=20
is simpler than yours -- I won't have multiple timestamps per outline node.

Sure -- features get dropped for legitimate reasons, but that always causes=
=20
some user pain, too. Might have been nice to document an alternative rather=
=20
than just making it a lot harder. (I don't really care if it's specifically=
=20
"timeline" or something else, but I also don't think it should require a=20
dive into the API to do something that had been easy.)
