It seems like the right solution here is to declare that every global 
has a corresponding time origin and use it here.  Then the spec that 
defines that global can define what its time origin is...

In particular, that would solve little issues like events existing in 
web workers, whose time origin is clearly not going to be defined in 
terms of HTML navigation in all cases (e.g. shared workers!).
