True.  However, this periodically updates an attribute named 
WallClockCheckpoint.  This does not update RemoteWallClockTime while the 
job is running.  This muddies the waters further, because 
WallClockCheckpoint is not in the copy of the job ad that is used to 
evaluate periodic expressions while the job is running.
