Interesting idea.  I'll try to do some tests locally to find out. 
There also appears to be another half to the question, though, that I
think is important:  How many windows that are supposed to get a
timestamp of 0 (i.e. unexpected windows) will end up getting a real
timestamp if we try to rely on the current event rather than a hint
from the application?
