Of course I RTFM, I wouldn't ever dream of asking a question in this list if I didn't for fear  of looking like a total dick.

I did know about this option, I just wasn't sure if it applied only to
local feeds or not.  Since streams are not seekable, I didn't think that
this option applied.  So it seems that this functionality is based on
external functions and not info encoded in the feed itself.  Good.

Now I know, thanks for your concise (if curt) response.

:-)
