This is underway. but designing a general purpose timeout is not so simple 
because you potentially have thousands of components (server side). You 
can't create a TTimer for each one or you'll run out Windows resources very 
quickly (bad scalability).

Currently you should implement a timeout yourself. Using a single TTimer and 
carefully crafted code will do the job. Basically you need a list of all 
your timeout \"jobs\" and have the timer event scan the list a do whatever 
appropriate is to evaluation and handle the timeout.
