How about a "Timer" constructor function instead?

Pros:

* Fits the object-oriented programming model of "new Image", "new  
XMLHttpRequest", etc.

* Enables use of object-oriented features like instanceof,  
the .constructor property, and prototype-based extensions to timer  
objects.

* Distinguishes itself better from the old setTimeout / setInterval  
functions.

"elapsedTime" reads better to me, since it makes "elapsed" definitely  
an adjective, and not a verb.

Overall, I think this is a great proposal.
