I've since come to the same conclusion. In addition, the experiments I've
done seem to indicate that the default for INTERVALS is, in fact, still 1,
not 10 (based on the media's visual appearance, and on a comparison of
parse/render times.)

There is a clear visual discrepancy between leaving
INTERVALS out (in which case it uses its default value) and actually
plugging in INTERVALS 10. The parse/render times are wildly different as
well.

I'm willing to be challenged on this assumption, however.
