This makes very little sense to me, unless I totally misunderstand what you're talking about.

One, transmitting a delta assumes every previous delta has not only been received, but also validated as being valid relative to a valid starting point.

Two, by the time you have to transmit an ident, a time stamp, and some other sync info to get the message across in the first place (not to mention a few bytes of checksum data), skimping on the actual position data to me sounds illogical.
