OK. Still feels a little confusing to me. DataEngines like TimeEngine 
don't 'create' source just call setData and there doesn't seem to be function 
to just create one if you don't have data (other than calling setData with 
some empty values)

Seems to work. Should I commit this with the #4 of the original diff.
