Thanks, I realize now I wasn't using the tablet API correctly,
regarding motion-tilt etc.

There are still a handful of cases where it would be useful to access
the time value according to wayland.

For example, "enter" callbacks don't take a time argument.
- wl_data_device_listener.enter
- wl_pointer_listener.enter

In these cases an event is generated in the client application that
could use the time.
