Does Ganglia support data sources other than gauges?

I.e., where the data is not a fluctuating value that represents an 
entities value at a particular time (such as 'memory used'), but is a 
count of data that only ever increments (such as 'Octets received' on
a network interface).

See the 'rrdcreate' man page from rrdtool if you're not sure what I'm
talking about.

I had a look at the XML output format in the documentation, which
doesn't imply anything other than 'gauge' is supported, and all the
pages at ganglia.mrcluster.org show graphs of gauges rather than
clusters.

So I assume the answer is 'no'.

If that is the case, are there any plans to support counters with
Ganglia?
