To be fair, they are hardly alone in this.  A lot of microprocessor 
watchdogs allow changing the time period during operation (usually with a 
single write).  It seems to me I've heard that a few even allow the WDT to 
be disabled after it's been enabled but I've not run into those.

They're still useful but not as robust as I would like.
