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

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