I considered that possibility as well, but in practice it seems not.  
I think we thought of this because we're both being worrywarts. The  
math should result in, at minimum, a wait to _exactly_ the next  
second. If that happens _and_ the time spent executing the send...in  
is 0, _and_ the send...in trigger happens _exactly_ on schedule, it  
would still be he next second, and do the right thing.

Of course, nothing beats _not_ putting in the fudge factor and  
watching it for a minute to see what happens, which is what I did. ;-)
