Review Comment:
   Now its documented on the javadoc what -1,0, and >0 mean, which seems good 
for now.  Its nice to structure the API so that the -1 case does not cause bugs 
in code calling getDelay AND to make it more flexible to change, but not really 
sure of the best way to achieve those goals.  The javadoc lets someone know hey 
you need to handle this -1 case, which helps w/ the usage bug case.  Making the 
API more flexible is tricky and as you mentioned this will probably evolve as 
more of the feature is implemented  also, so it would be good to see what is 
learned from that.
   
   If the code is released w/ that javadoc then its behavior is set and it 
would be ok for the serialization code to be tightly coupled to the behavior in 
the javadoc.
