Yes, that definitions holds, but is it really okay to redefine the timeStamp to
a completely different type?  The timestamps we have now are
DOMHighResTimeStamps, which are a double representing time since navigation
start; DOMTimeStamps are unsigned long longs representing (integer)
milliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.
