True, but that's how Emacs uses this interface: it conflates the notions of timestamps and timestamp differences, and uses the same EMACS_TIME type for both. This could be fixed by switching to a more complicated API that distinguishes between the two notions, and if Emacs's timestamp computations get more complicated that's probably a good way to go. It's not needed for Emacs's current usage, though.
