Very nice. If I ever get around to updating the Primer on Message Mechanics, this should go in there.

At first I thought this might need a little fudge value added, but now I think not.

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. ;-)
