So I feel use currentTime() only on the places which really needs wall clock time(like jsDateTime()), remaining places monotonicallyIncreasingTime() is good.

I'm still not sure replacing calls to currentTime() by monotonicallyIncreasingTime() everywhere is such a great idea. Can't those platforms emulate currentTime?  Presumably, this is just an optimization, right?
