Once upon a time I remember offset fudge could be applied to other
sources as well.  Or at least I wanted it to work.

If a good case can be made for allowing this now I'm willing to consider
it, and it would be far better to see if there are better ways to fix
the underlying problem (one-way delay measurement).
