...you should only really use Millisecs() for relative time measurements, anyhow; this sort of eliminates the need for a discrete 'starting' value for Millisecs().

Millisecs() already returns something consistently useful on all three platforms--an accurate value for the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since some (platform-dependent) discrete moment in time. That's all it needs to do; the actual starting point for the count is irrelevant so long as it counts the milliseconds elapsed accurately.
