+1.

That's back to my point that the observation might not be exported.

More to the point, delta/total counting is a function of the MP. Whether 
the MP hands data to the EP, and what the EP does or does not do with 
that data, should have no bearing on how the MP meters subsequent data. 
So the definition should be purely in MP terms ("last export" being an 
EP term).
