Well, the only thing I wonder is, let's say I have a cron entry to push a 
digest at 6pm every evening.  If, by some fluke, the digest reset at say 
5:20, and ther was only one entry of 1.5K in the digest, it would push 
out a tiny one.  Thus, a push based on the age of the oldest entry would 
make sure that a digest got out, but not push out something that was 
artifically small (unless the traffic was, of course, very light).
