Reminds me of one of my email .sigs:
And then came the grandest idea of all!
We actually made a map of the country, on
the scale of a mile to the mile!
Have you used it much? I enquired.
It has never been spread out, yet, said
Mein Herr -- the farmers objected -- they
said it would cover the whole country,
and shut out the sunlight! So we now use
the country itself, as its own map, and I
assure you it does nearly as well."

I would suspect that David means being able to specify the ratio of rate of
progression of the Google Earth time slider to real time.
A 1:1 might be useful for viewing the movement of an object such as a vehicle,
but other ratios would useful for other visualizations. To give a specific
example, for viewing a 100 years of census data, you might want to specify the
a time ratio of (10 years of Google Earth time) per (1 second of real time).

What does the above mean, David? Take a year to move through a year's
data... kinda like 1:1 time scale? Shirley you mean something else
that I am unable to grok.
