When the <tstamp> task was modified to take format specifications, Conor
also proposed allowing for an offset/unit functionality that would allow
you to specify something like:
offset="-10"
unit="minute"
I was definitely in favor of it, but I don't know if he ever actually
coded that up and committed it. You can see his mail about it at:
