Thanks.  I think that could work, though it would probably surprise people.

This led me to thinking, what about another parameter to the time-style param? 
Looks like it is currently newline delimited.  Perhaps a third line could hold a 
time threshold?  A bit odd (due to delimiter) but compact in terms of variables 
and backwards compatible.
